Are you going to teach it emacs commands for the same? ;)

IMO any file which wants to be viewed with tabs != 8 spaces is broken.

The extra cost of disk to store 4 spaces for your odd number of indent lines is trivial..

I understand that bsd.port.mk and friends have legacy and that is fine but I don't think it's a good precedent to use when indenting other makefiles (which is a great idea IMO)
