The changelog is missing completely now ;-)

You're still mixing spaces and tabs here ...

The indent here is really flying all around ;-)

Why don't you just check for "^ \+" and replace them with tabs ? That'd solve 
your indent problem rather quickly. Moreover, you can just use:

[TAB]<insn>[TAB]arg1, arg2...

This would solve the problem where your instruction arguments are not well 
indented.

Uh guys, Peter or Herbert, please stop me if I'm pushing too much.
