I agree with Steven.  Let's change the default.  It's an embarrassment
to the community when silly trailing newlines in a file suggest its
having once been edited in Emacs.

To RMS:  Proposal is that next-line-add-newlines default to nil.
XEmacs will likely make this change in any case, since the maintainers
hate the default setting.

I've made this change in my private workspace.
