@treyhunner I know what you meant. :P  I should have explained my reasoning though.  @whit537's been using 4-wide tabs in Makefiles, so I'm inclined to suggest that we should keep with that.  Also, when I wrote the local vimrc I did it that way for the same reason. (I personally think tabs should be 8-wide, but I don't really care as long as I don't have to modify my vimrc, or constantly change it)
