I think I discovered a few more options that better correspond to
our collective taste:

indent \
        --braces-on-if-line \
        --blank-lines-after-declarations \
        --case-brace-indentation0 \
        --case-indentation2 \
        --braces-after-struct-decl-line \
        --line-length80 \
        --use-tabs \
        --cuddle-else \
        --dont-line-up-parentheses \
        --continuation-indentation4 \
        --honour-newlines \
        --tab-size8 \
        --indent-level2 \
        $*

I think it's the same as above, but with the additional --indent-level2
and --tab-size8.

There are a few missing features in indent that would be nice, including
telling it to not ever use tabs.  That might be possible with
--tab-size100 or so, though.
