As Ben mentioned, the POV-Ray Windows editor already has some of these 
features.

The editor preferences panel provides an option to change tabs to spaces 
while typing (though I don't see a 'spaces to tabs' option). The Text menu 
allows you to indent or unindent blocks of SDL. Another feature I find very 
useful in the Windows editor is the Ctrl-Click, which allows you to select 
columns of text and edit those selected columns (I usually use that for 
indentation rather than the indent option on the Text menu).
