I've been adding settings for vim and Emacs to each file as I touch them
that enforce the tab/space style already prevelant in that file, and using
the ones I sent earlier for new code.

A manual revision is probably long-overdue.  Adding a contributing section
there that includes the coding style is probably the best place for it in
the long run.
