I use XEmacs 20.4, and have no idea about v.21. In my .emacs I have
included the lines

(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook
	  '(lambda ( )
	     (c-toggle-auto-hungry-state 1)
	     (setq c-comment-continuation-stars "*")
	     (setq c-indent-comments-syntactically-p t)
	     (setq c-basic-offset 8)
	     (setq tab-width 8)
	     (setq indent-tabs-mode nil))
	  'turn-on-auto-fill)

tab-width is the no. of spaces per tab, and setting the variable
indent-tabs-mode to nil causes all indentation to be done with spaces. To
see an explanation of c-basic-offset do 'C-h C-i cc-mode' and go to the
node 'Customizing Indentation'. I am far from savvy re all this, so there
may be better solutions.

Cheers,
Raghavendra.
