RM> Correct. I gave up.

Ok.  If you want that to work, you'll basically need to get the compiler
and figure out what indent is doing wrong.  I can't reproduce the problem
here.

It's probably not a good idea to do that.  Minimal changes are the order of
the day I reckon.  Because otherwise you're going to get a completely
diverging version of indent, with no chance that it gets into the original
author's work (and thus becomes someone else's job to maintain!).

Why do you need huge pointers, and can't you just compile it huge anyway?
