Sold!  :-)

I think this is historical.  Most people hacking the scripts (including
me) have been Emacs users and that is the default Emacs indentation for
shell scripts.

As long as nobody complains I'll switch to tabs and update code as
it gets edited.

As per:

  https://keramida.wordpress.com/2008/08/08/tweaking-shell-script-indentation-in-gnu-emacs/

I'll make case statement labels line up with the "case" keyword to
avoid crazy amounts of indentation.  The author of that page seems to
suggest that this makes the indentation compatible with VIM.

For the record, I'm using the following in my ~/.emacs:

(setq-default sh-basic-offset 8
	      sh-indentation 8
	      sh-indent-for-case-label 0
	      sh-indent-for-case-alt '+)

peace & happiness,
martin
