I understand not wanting to reawaken this bikeshedding thread, but I
would like to submit this humble one-liner which goes through all of the
elisp source and indents each file.

find -name '*.el' -exec emacs -Q --batch '{}' --eval '(progn (setq
make-backup-files nil) (indent-region (point-min) (point-max)))' -f
whitespace-cleanup -f basic-save-buffer-1 \;

Not the most efficient, but it gets the job done. If you guys don't
think it's worth it even with this hack, I'll drop it.
