The only place where prefix tabs are allowed, for historical reasons is in Makefile. And since alot of people are switching to things such as ant, perhaps we could have a big switch over to spaces. It would be enough that the few make providers agree on a date and provide a script to convert tab-makefiles to space-makefiles along with a new version of make. Such switch overs have been done for more complex things than Makefiles... -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we.
