This can be done with ERT, right? A bunch of .cc files with file-local
variables could be indented "properly" for those variables. Then the
test logic for each file is
1) open file and evaluate file-local variables,
2) reindent and untabify the whole file,
3) compare the result to the untabified original file.
The nice thing about this approach is that all the test logic is inside
the .cc file, so you don't need to configure the ELisp code for each
file separately. To add a new test you just add a new .cc file.
Plus, of course, it's not limited to .cc files. It would work just as
well for .c, .pl, .el, whatever. I can write the ERT wrapper if this
sounds useful.
