Re: Where is icon-mode.el for Emacs? I was under the impression that GNU emacs came with an icon-mode.el
At least, I know *I* didn't have to write one.
Here's what I've been using; its hacked a bit from the real one.

Variables controlling indentation style:
 icon-tab-always-indent

 icon-auto-newline
    Non-nil means automatically newline before and after braces
    inserted in Icon code.
 icon-indent-level
    Indentation of Icon statements within surrounding block.
    The surrounding block's indentation is the indentation
    of the line on which the open-brace appears.
 icon-continued-statement-offset
    Extra indentation given to a substatement, such as the
    then-clause of an if or body of a while.
 icon-continued-brace-offset
    Extra indentation given to a brace that starts a substatement.
    This is in addition to icon-continued-statement-offset.
 icon-brace-offset
    Extra indentation for line if it starts with an open brace.
 icon-brace-imaginary-offset
    An open brace following other text is treated as if it were
    this far to the right of the start of its line.

Turning on Icon mode calls the value of the variable icon-mode-hook with no args,
if that value is non-nil."
