I'm not sure as to your exact concerns.

Poking around a bit in VS2008 I see the
following (which you may already know):

1. The VS editor indentation options can be set on a per programming language basis. (Tools ! Options)

2. All or specific VS "Settings" (the IDE configuration) can
   be exported/imported:
    Tools ! Export and Import Settings

   Also: a specific ".vssettings" file can be loaded when the
   VS 2008 IDE is started.

   From "vcexpress /?"
    ...
    /ResetSettings Restores the IDE's default settings,
    optionally resets to the specified VSSettings file.
