I've to say I've changed my preferences over the time.
I started with tabs but then was converted to spaces.
The most important thing to me is that lines do not grow
over 80 columns. This is harder to do with tab indenting,
because the actual final column depends on the tab spacing.

I'm tryin to use spaces in the new code for topology.
Can't remember if I committed a .vimrc too, for vi users.
I surely have it locally.

Problem is if you have different versions of astyle every run changes
files back and forward depending on who runs astyle on it.

Fine by me, as long as there's a link to the guidelines.
We could then commit settings for our editors in the repository,
so it's easier to do...
