Answer 1

I've found the reindent script http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Reindent/0.1.0 works well for me. Not pure vim, but really easy!

After its installed you can use it in vim with

:%! reindent

(ie pipe the entire buffer through the reindent program) and it's done.

From the command line it can be used to reindent multiple files (eg all files in a directory, or even recursively down a directory tree).
