uncrustify has far more options, and appears to be better maintained.
This started because I wanted GNU indent to work differently in some
small, yet seemingly-easy-to-fix way, began to change it to allow that,
but found I would have had to do some significant rearrangement to get
what I wanted.

I'll post details pretty soon on how I've been using uncrustify.
