Just to flame a bit (the lists were a bit quiet lately) : the only sane way
to dealing with TABs is when TABs are used properly (ie by an editor that
uses them only to go to the current C indenting level and uses spaces for
everything that comes after).

With such an editor, tab size does not matter at all.

No idea if Emacs / Vi can be used to work like that :-)
