Now would be a good time to convert the C files to 4 space indents.  We've
only been talking about it for a decade at least.  While I'm sure history can
be preserved across the svn->hg import, it's enough of a break to bite the
bullet and fix the code.  I think we only need to convert the py3k branch
though.
