	So, we need to come to a final agreement on the modelines we're  
going to impose/request in our source files/Portfiles:

1) Source files: # -*- coding: utf-8; Mode: Tcl; tab-width: 4; indent- 
tabs-mode: nil; c-basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4
2) Portfiles (it's the same as above, is that recommended?): # -*-  
coding: utf-8; Mode: Tcl; tab-width: 4; indent-tabs-mode: nil; c- 
basic-offset: 4 -*- vim:et:sw=4:ts=4:sts=4
3) Makefiles: # -*- Mode: Makefile; tab-width: 8; indent-tabs-mode: t  
-*- vim:noet:sw=8:ts=8

	Any objections to those? Something to add? Is casing of keywords  
right (Tcl or tcl)?

	Once we agree on the exact formats we should document them and  
everyone should stick to them, even in the order of the components.

	Regards,...

PS: Actual conversion of the files will probably be implemented on a  
file by file basis, unfortunately, as a regex to convert everything  
in one fell swoop is very difficult to construct and very error  
prone, I believe (as also advised by Kevin).
