You got several good scripts to strip whitespace from the ends of
lines, but I didn't see any code to strip trailing blank lines.
How about this?
$ python -c 'import sys; print sys.stdin.read().rstrip()' < in > out
That doesn't trim EOL whitespace, just EOF whitespace. Combine
it with one of the other scripts for EOL trimming.
