[libvirt] [PATCH] clarify Makefile message about tabbed indentation

I made a few changes to some of the sources, not realizing my editor was using tabs for indentation which caused the build to complain. I wasn't sure what the error was trying to tell me at first; here's a patch that makes the message clearer (to me at least).

ACK, but please split that line so it doesn't exceed 80 columns, e.g., { echo '$(ME): found TAB(s) used for indentation in C sources;' \ 'use spaces' 1>&2; exit 1; } || :
