Personally I would like to see a jakarta automate rejection of tabified
commits ... everything else is largely ignrable. So we would have to
convince the tomcat developers and any others who like tabs that they are
truly evil ;) If we did this I assume it would be a simple mod to perl
scripts to refuse to commit tabbified commits ;)
