It would be desirable, for sure. I've not noticed anything remarkably
unportable in the code, so probably it's just a matter of getting the
build infrastructure to build it. I suppose that we aren't going to
update the src/tools/msvc scripts anymore, so getting meson to handle
it should be enough??

It wasn't that big; I posted it in the thread discussing that change.

I think the real issue might just be that, assuming we bump the
pg_bsd_indent version number, that in itself would force interested
committers to update their copy Right Now. I'd rather give a little
notice.
