[Eric] strip trailing whitespace

[Darren Dale]

I wouldn't say it is urgent, but the other devs on my project are taking steps 
to automatically prevent whitespace noise from creeping into svn commits, so 
I feel compelled to do the same.

This is probably a dumb question, but why does it matter if trailing 
whitespace is stripped from lines in triple-quoted strings?
