This replacing of eight leading spaces into tabs was already done for the embedded uncompressed version in tool_hugehelp.c so it does not save anything there. But the gzip compressed version ends up almost 2K smaller.

The output in a terminal should be identical.

Before using TABs:

curl.txt 282492 bytes
curl.txt.gz 73261 bytes

With this change applied:

curl.txt 249382 bytes
curl.txt.gz 71470 bytes
