Of course, we can't add this flag to Lindent until it's widely

Lindent in the meantime:

sed -i -e 's/^\t* \(\w*:\)/ \1/' "$@"

which will replace the leading tabs and spaces with one space.
It should leave case labels unmolested, as they should be indented with
tabs, not 6 spaces.

Any regexp ninjas want to have a go at something better?

I'm the one. Trying to write portable, optimized and easy to
understand scripts [0].

Please, describe more what must be done, and i will do it. Case labels
are handled very strangely in you example.

OK. indent will indent labels to a column number that's a multiple of
8, plus 6. So it may start in column 6, 14, 20, 28, etc. I'm not quite
sure what the definition of a label is; I had it as \w*: up there, but I
don't know if that would match the _. The point is to *not* handle case
labels, only goto labels.
