These can be handled by makeasclean.  I highly recommend that whoever 
makes the distribution run "make indent; makeasclean" before releasing.  
Also, checking for files with no newline at the end might be good - I 
don't know if there are any right now.

That sounds fine to me.  Make sure that the documentation points to the 
right place, though.  doc/code/Patch mentions the location of makeaspatch 
as doc/code/makeaspatch.

Do I hear a volunteer? :)
