No, I think I'd rather it was done automatically, by a script that
interprets white space the same way that python does. 
The script from python.org that Anthony posted seems to fit the bill.

It would be very interesting to compare the output of the script against
your patch, to find out whether you fixed any bugs (or introduced any
:-)

I agree that getting rid of the tabs is important, but it can happen
after some of the outstanding tools merges get completed. Of course, if
in doing the conversion you find bugs, that's a different matter...
