The previous commit removed the Vim modelines which replaced tabs with spaces. This commit replaces the space-based indents with tabs.

Tabs are generally more compatible with various user preferences regarding indentation of code. Using space-based indents is not flexible regarding user preferences at all.

I don't like this idea. The current settings (2-space indentation) is the de facto standard coding convention. Changing the convention would create a lot of inconsistency among packages. Lukas
