Yeah, unfortunately you can't really do what you want with the built-in 
indentation tools.  I think with some clever commands, it should be 
possible to do however you like, but TextMate's indentation machinery 
isn't really designed to be super flexible.  That may change in future 
versions... we'll have to wait to see what Allan comes up with.  Until 
then, I think your best bet is to make some simple (or maybe complex) 
commands that take in the whole file, and then examine the previous 
lines to determine indentation, and then set those to run when you press 
return, etc.
