I still think you would do better using something like this in your .emacs:

                             ;Set Ellemtel as the default indent style
                                      ;Stroustrup looks about the same
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
          '(lambda ()
             (c-set-style "Ellemtel")))

There are several complete systems of C styles, which should be more satisfactory than re-inventing the wheel.  Of course, you may like inventing!
