I agree, but just FYI the patch command has a -l flag which causes it
to ignore whitespace differences.  It really helps in cases like this,
though it's still somewhat bogus since you lose the tab in the source
code..  Still, it can save you a lot of trouble when the patch is
*large* and you can always run the results through indent to recreate
the lost tab info (and probably clean up the file considerably in the
process :-).
