Hi Rich,
I noticed that libguestfs's cfg.mk had an old (and relatively
inefficient) version of the rule that checks for empty lines at EOF.
The one in maint.mk is much more efficient:

Subject: [PATCH libguestfs] maint: remove a subsumed syntax-check rule
* cfg.mk (sc_prohibit_trailing_blank_lines): Remove rule. It is now
subsumed by the much more efficient sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF
rule in gnulib's maint.mk.
