I've been thinking it would be a good idea to add the patch-cleaning
script to the source for people to use for submission. There are a few
minor issues to work out still but if you all agree I'll drop it in.

There would probably have to be two versions or an internal check:
  - [test,] clean and submit (for general developers)
  - [test,] clean and commit (for committers)

With [test,] being an optional(compulsory?) build test for minor issues
as discussed earlier for the testbed level-1.
