[Bug-indent] boxed comments

[mjstumpf]

I'm dealing with some dinosaur C code full of big, horking ugly boxed
comments no doubt placed there by programmers who spend more time talking
in meetings than coding.

:-)

indent seems to explicitly exclude options to 'convert' these to more
tolerable forms.  Let me give you an idea of what I'm looking at--600
files looking like this:

/*                                                                */
/******************************************************************/
/*         X F U N C   -   PERFORMS INANE FUNCTION                */
/******************************************************************/
/*                                                                */
unsigned int32    xfunc(                 /* Perform inane fn      */
                        void)            /*                       */
                                         /*                       */
{                                        /*                       */
 unsigned int32 x;                       /* Local temp var        */



 ...  you get the point.  Is there a reason you have avoided patches to
make code like this sane, or has it simply never come up (would you
consider patches if I offered them)?

Thanks,
