Is this style something we want to try push into the GNU Coding Standard and/or into the GNU indent default? I don't care much about coding styles conventions, but I care about consistency. Moving away from the default style of GNU indent in gnulib seems a bit inconsistent to me. I can't find anything about tab vs space in the coding standard though. Thoughts? /Simon
