I'm starting to come around to the position that /maybe/ a big bang
trailing whitespace change (using the per directory compromise) would be
the right thing to do (after the 2009-01-15 release!).

I'm not sure yet.  It's not important enough to have a big long
discussion about, but one thought I had was that if we got rid of all
the trailing whitespace, then we can enforce a simple and stupid policy
of either not accepting patches with trailing whitespace, or if that's
too much trouble, killing such whitespace in subsequent patches ASAP.

In other words, maybe the big bang approach will reduce the amount of
noise that I generate.
