Setting up development environment

[Brian Chu]

I have a question about indentation.  In the previously supplied
.emacs hook, tabs are represented by 8 spaces.  Most of the kernel
code, however, actually uses the tab character.

Are both forms acceptable?  If not, anyone willing to share their
tab-character-tabs .emacs c hook?

Thanks,
Brian
