I answer my own question:

<http://simplicity.net/ia/software/linux/mail/linux-kernel/msg00505.html>

(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook
	  (function (lambda()
		      (setq c-basic-offset 8)
		      (setq c-indent-level 8)
		      (setq c-continued-statement-offset 8)
		      (setq c-label-offset -8))))

My guess is that the first one was xemacs. Why, oh why, didn't the
xemacs folks make their lisps compatible?
