Perhaps Gisle can send an e-mail to the maintainers asking for the addition
of some switch to make it.
But I think is much more easy to convert the spaces in the file to tabs.
There are a text-utility for that (I don't remmember the name) and RHIDE (and
SET Edit of course) have an option to convert spaces to tabs. Is dangerous in
C code but normally works wonderfull in broken make files.
