Just to throw my two cents in, I think that using spaces for
indentation is evil, and tabs should be used.

But I also recognize that my opinion is the less standard one.  If
spaces must be used, I do think it's best to standardize on 4 spaces
for an indentaion.  This is, in my experience, by far the most common
way to standardize.  If we go with 4 spaces, we'll be much more likely
to get patches that actually comply...

FWIW, the Apache world seems to generally prefer 4 spaces (see
<http://wiki.apache.org/geronimo/CodingStandards> and <http://
jakarta.apache.org/turbine/common/code-standards.html>). But in any
case, yeah, tabs are evil :)
