Sweet mao, this is getting beyond ridiculous.


FROGS: for the love of free love and open source hippydom,
somebody make a bloody python script that removes tailing spaces
from lines.  Then run it on our docs, including input/ stuff.
Then add it to scripts/auxiliar, and make makelsr.py call it when
it's finished, so we'll always have trailing-space-less input/lsr/
files.

Expected time: 10 minutes (60 for a complete python newbie) for
the initial python script, 10 minutes for running it, verifying
the diffs look right, etc.  30 minutes for adding it to git,
modifying makelsr.py, etc.  Total 50 (or 100) minutes.

Plus another 50-100 minutes for dealing with trailing whitespaces
in the python script itself.

Cheers,
