Bug 29488 – portage.py and emerge mix tabs and spaces, seems to cause import errors

portage.py and emerge mix spaces and tabs which python's tabnanny module say
could potentially cause strange errors, I experienced one of the strange errors
with bug 29486.

I think I've fixed this by using the tabnanny module and checking every file
that portage/emerge imports for ambiguous mixtures of tabs and spaces.

Also, in order to fix this I needed to move emergehelp.py from /usr/lib/portage/bin to /usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages -- I did a quick check of all the import statments in portage.py and emerge and I didn't see anything strange but I'm still not sure what's happening with this bug... fixing the whitespace and moving the emergehelp module seems to fix everything though.
