My suggestion is to use dired and kbd macros.  Use M-x find-dired RET
to get a list of all VHDL files under a directory.  Then start
recording kbd macros with C-x (, then beautify the first file
manually, then move point to the next file in the dired buffer, then
end the kbd macro with C-x ).

Then you do the C-c C-b thing, then C-x C-s, then C-x k RET.  Then you
should be back in the dired buffer, where n takes you to the next
line.

This is a general method that is often useful.
