OK, no problem.  I think there's an exception list somewhere in gnulib,
or if not I'll go and create the exception mechanism.  Or I'll alter
the import procedure to expand spaces to tabs.  Or something.

I don't care about tabs myself; I'm merely the
diplomat here between the no-tabs and the prefer-tabs camps.
But I should say that GNU style does not *require* tabs;
it merely *allows* them.  Replacing spaces with tabs (or vice versa)
doesn't affect whether a C program is using GNU style.
