Right. Good point. I'll also add to the README the sentence
If you use the GNU indent program, pass it the option '--no-tabs'.
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?
