Hi,

   Well, if someone is willing to do a quick script to check the
whitespace stuff, I would say let him. It's not like one is loosing
anything, and it makes it easier to make sure. Though one can be
careful enough to avoid the whitespace issue, automated checks (and
checks alone, not fixups! ) is A Good Thing (tm) imho. It could even
be used in SVN hooks to deny commits that are invalid, but I'm not
quite sure if it's possible to apply it just to Makefiles and *.mk.

   Just my 2 euro cents :)
