It turned out that this was not so simple, however, since trailing whitespace in values is actually significant in properties files.

I have restored all the "delete trailing whitespace" changes, except for those with significance. These changes were in turned created by  running `find . -type f -iname "*.properties" | xargs gsed -i -e 's/[ \t]*$//'`.

The client changes look fine.
