I really don't know. The call to whitespace-cleanup comes from FSF, and I
can't find any mention of it in their ChangeLogs.
Having looked at it for all of 30 seconds, it appears that the while
loop I mentioned is not appropriate at the place where
whitespace-cleanup is called. In that case, Ben, would you add
text-modes to REQUIRES in the texinfo Makefile?
