It happens for about 30% of files I work on, so that's not an option.
It's easier to just use a different editor program for Makefiles
(which I do now as I don't see a better solution).

Yes, I know, I have it turned on. What would be nice is that this
setting is ignored on a per-file basis if file type is Makefile, or if
user manually selects Document -> Set Indentation.
