I think make should probably be changed to be less limited. This tab
matter seems awfully pedantic, *especially* given that a lot of editors on
intel machines tend to insert 4 or 8 spaces rather than ascii 0x09 for the
tab key, thereby making it impossible for many users to use make without
either spending six years figuring out Emacs or buying a costly
non-freeware editor.
