    In ~/.exrc you need:

    set tabstop=4
    set sw=4

    That's  all. But I like 8-spaced tabs anyway. It's a very old
    de-facto standard (I think  CP/M  already  treated  TAB  this
    way),  so  having  something different is definitely what Tom
    said - a reason for potential contributors NOT do contribute.
