[En-Nut-Discussion] Tons of trailing spaces in our source code

Hi Ole!

Yes, great idea, except the Line-Endings. Normally SVN should do that 
automatically in the current settings.

But in general there should be tools existing that perform such small 
services. So called "code beautifier" can keep indents and brackets 
correct aligned and exchange tabs between #define and value by the 
defined number of spaces too. They even correct
if( bla ==blubb) to if (bla==blubb) and so on.

Let's first check if there isn't already a tool that is not to powerful 
to understand and easy to use.

Best regards
Ulrich
