Add emacs mode line support to vim, and call for help

Different editor configurations, especially tabstops are always pain for co-work. So if everyone uses vim, you can specify some vim instruction to override one's vim configuration in your file, just like:

// vim:tabstop=4:

And if everyone uses emacs, you can also specify emacs mode line like:

// -*- tab-width: 2 -*-

But what about make vim to read emacs mode line? I've wrote a script to do so.

As I didn't use emacs at all, I don't know which instructions can be specified in the emacs mode line. I just wrote a handler for "tab-width" as an example. If you are familiar with both emacs and vim, please help me to add more handlers into this script.

After more handlers added, I'll submit this script to vim.org.

I'm in the same boat as you, not knowing many, but c-basic-offset: seems to set sw ts and sts all together, and it's the most used option where I'm working right now, so it might be a good one to look for. indent-tabs-mode seems to be an antonym of expandtab also, if that's nil, expandtab is on, etc. Thanks alot for the useful script!
