[antlr-interest] Tabs in browsable source files generated by doxygen

The ANTLR source code is written with a tab stop distance of 4 and a
mixture of spaces and tabs, but doxygen seems to be assuming a tab stop
distance of 8 when generating the HTML for source code files.
This leads to ugliness such as the following example in
<http://www.antlr.org/api/Java/_common_token_stream_8java-source.html>:
00133 public void consume() {
00134 if ( p<tokens.size() ) {
00135 p++;
00136 p = skipOffTokenChannels(p); // leave p on
valid token
00137 }
00138 }
The fix for this is to put "TAB_SIZE = 4" in the doxygen config file
(see http://www.stack.nl/~dimitri/doxygen/config.html).
