+	maint: remove empty lines at EOF, but excluding modules/*
+	Apply syntax rules at home as well as abroad.  Most changes
+	were induced by running this:
+	  make srcdir=. _build-aux=build-aux -f top/maint.mk \
+	    sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF | grep -v modules/ \
+	    | xargs perl -pi -0777 -e 's/\n\n+$/\n/'
+	* cfg.mk (local-checks-to-skip): Enable sc_prohibit_empty_lines_at_EOF.
+	Exempt modules/* and two binary files.
+	Also exempt doc/INSTALL*, per request from Bruno Haible.
+	* doc/regexprops-generic.texi: *Add* a newline at EOF.  There was none.
+	* doc/Copyright/assign.translation.manual: Remove empty lines at EOF.
