when you mentioned this earlier, I did find a program called Indent++ (i
think) that was written as a college project it seems. it's goal was to
rewrite GNU Indent for C++ syntax, and make is easily extensible to other
languages. The README text wasn't very promising though. Sounded like it had
memory leaks and performance problems. If you're a programmer though, it
might be a starting point for a new pov utility.

good luck in your hunt.
