Hi folks, I just added a small tool to the tools/ directory in src called fixwhite(1) that attempts to fix commonly made whitespace bugs in source files. I wrote it in such a way that it's quite conservative, to make sure it won't make too many annoying changes that you have to roll back manually. It should be useful especially when copy-pasting code between terminals.
As mentioned in the commit message, you can just use :%!fixwhite if you're a vi(1) user. Other editors probably support a similar construct.
