I think I agree with Alex here.  While most of us prefer ts=8, I don't see
the need to reindent some files, most notably b.p.m., as it will completely
jeopardize its history and make 'svn blame' basically useless.

Even with editors that cannot grok ex:ts=X hints, its not that hard to do it
manually every time you need to view/edit these files.  I do it all the time
with nvi(1).
