Not the whole story, surely; you must want me to do
something like create sort-it:

#!/bin/bash 
find /home/jf -name \*.hs -o -name \*.lhs | xargs -IX sed -i.bak -e 's/[ \t]+$//' X

and put it in a my crontab to run once a day? Otherwise it's
not automatic. Only, strangely enough, what you wrote
doesn't work (s/-e/-r/).
