I've got a fairly simple perl script that trims trailing whitespace  
and it's remarkably effective. It even works over recursive  
directories (not hard to do, but it's the way to do this globally.)  
I'm sure it's not too much of a stretch to translate tabs to spaces,  
although that's controversial.
