wow, that's a neat program!
but (a) this is Java code; and (b) indent looks like it has so many
tweakable options that to find every single preference the original
coder used would take way too much reformatting, checking in, diffing
... i'd just like to turn whitespace into tabs here, without having my
code completely re-formatted. if that's possible.
