How about a --report-only (insert better name here) command line option to 
patchcheck, then?

My editor doesn't delete trailing whitespace *automatically*, but it's trivial 
to remove trailing whitespace from a file if you know it's there (M-x 
delete-trailing-whitespace, I believe);  some people (like me) might prefer to 
make all changes within the editor rather than having an external tool do it 
for them.  This is especially true if you've got the editor open for the 
relevant file at the time, since you can end up with two different conflicting 
versions of the file---one in the editor and one on disk;  saving in the editor 
can undo the changes that patchcheck made on disk.
