No need to fight, this is well documented in the CC-mode manual in the
section about customizing indentation. There is also useful
information in the emacs manual under the section about indentation,
and the section about editing programs.

I think there was a change at some point and if you want to use your
own style you have to set the CC-mode style to user.

Tab runs the indentation function and indents the current line based
on the current style. If you want to add an extra "tab" you should do
M-i (this is documented in the indentation section of the emacs manual).

Hope that helps,

Did that a while back too, but thankfully someone gave me some code that 
gives a nice looking indentation style.

This works ok for me and produces indentation like above

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook (function (lambda () (c-set-style "bsd") (setq 
c-basic-offset 4))))

and this works for Java mode (just in case you need it later)

(add-hook 'java-mode-hook (function (lambda () (c-set-style "bsd") (setq 
c-basic-offset 4))))
