[bug #39943] Add an alternative parsing mode that regards space and tab as identical tokens

2013-09-04 Thread Paul D. Smith
Follow-up Comment #1, bug #39943 (project make): IMO _any_ editor which automatically replaces TABs with spaces should never be considered to be a useful programming tool. But YMMV of course. Please see the NEWS file for the current release (GNU make 3.82): * New special variable: .RECIPEPREFI
