mkxconfig error (DefaultColorDepth) + patch

[sic <" samnospam\""@bcgreen.com> (sic)>]

I was having such a hard time trying to figure
out why I couldn't change the default color depth
using the boot commandline, and I finally found it.

When matching to change the default, the pattern
is only searching for a tab separator, not a space or
tab seperator...

patch attached..
Big diff to notice is that  DefaultColorDepth[     ]
now searches for BOTH space and tab, rather than just tab.
