Parital solution:
By default, emacs has a nasty habit of indenting with a mix of tabs
and spaces. you can disable this by setting indent-tabs-mode to nil.
You can do this via M-x customize-apropos or by sprinkling this bit of
elisp into your .emacs:
(setq-default
indent-tabs-mode nil ;;; http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/TabsAreEvil
)
