I would be happy to do that to all of gnulib.
It is long overdue.
I've used this shell function to convert other projects:
no-tabs-for-indentation()
{
local exclude=/dev/null
local x2=.x-sc_TAB_in_indentation
test -f $x2 && exclude=$x2
git ls-files \
| pcregrep -vf $exclude \
| xargs pcregrep -l '^ *\t' \
| xargs perl -MText::Tabs -ni -le \
'$m=/^( *\t[ \t]*)(.*)/; print $m ? expand($1) . $2 : $_'
}
If everyone agrees, I'd like to update copyrights, too,
before the new year.
