>Description:

Some files in /usr/ports/Mk use 4 column tab settings, others use
8 column tabs. While this is no real problem and does not show up
in editors that support -*- tab-width: 4; -*- or ex:ts=4, others
show the files with misaligned lines. While some may argue that
decent editors support this, problems occur also in diff files
(viewed with cdiff), browsers (cvsweb) and more, less and vi (in
the base system). At least it annoyed me enough to post this PR.

Files that use 4 column tabs:

- bsd.autotools.mk
- bsd.gnome.mk
- bsd.java.mk
- bsd.kde.mk
- bsd.port.mk
- bsd.python.mk
- bsd.sdl.mk

Files that don't use 4 column tabs:

- bsd.emacs.mk
- bsd.gnustep.mk
- bsd.openssl.mk
- bsd.php.mk
- bsd.port.post.mk
- bsd.port.pre.mk
- bsd.port.subdir.mk
- bsd.ruby.mk
- bsd.sites.mk
/usr/share/mk/bsd.*.mk
/usr/ports/*/*/Makefile
/usr/ports/Tools/scripts/*, except patchtool.py

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:

- Tell me that CVS history is more important that misaligned lines.

- Convince me of the beauty of four column tabs.
