Hi,

there seems to be an agreement that VCS keywords do not make any sense
anymore and should be removed. Hamburg RE will take care of this.

The tabs converted to spaces issue seems somewhat more controversial. At
least we have to move it out of the migration phase. I've played with
the idea of a pre-commit formatting check and it's clear that a little
thought has to go in this. Removing the tabs out of POSIX style
makefiles might not be a good idea :)
