Looks like you're getting /opt/SUNWspro/bin/indent, or something
similar.  Looks like the SunPro `indent' cannot act as a pipe.

I installed GNU indent.  But, I don't think it is fair to ask for GNU
indent whenever you use ORBit.  Or, it should be named prominently in
the README as a requirement, and there should probably be a configure
switch to choose which `indent' program you want to use.
