Well, basically we have already a pretty flexible set of indentation
settings. Yet your special use case is a bit against the indented work
flow.

Does anyone know if Makefiles always need to have tabs indentation? If
we could assume all sorts of Makefiles require Tabs, we could add back
the forced Tabs setting for Makefiles. But I have no idea about the
Makefiles for Windows' nmake or BSD make or whatever else might exist.
