In GNU Emacs 19.25.2 of Fri Aug 12 1994 on gza-client1 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3)

The C-mode I've got, which is bastardized from a number of different
sources I couldn't possibly identify, supports "electric newlines."
That is, when I hit newline in it, it automatically deletes any
whitespace at the end of the previous line (if I'm not in a literal)
and indents the cursor on the next line.

I like this feature a lot, so I'd like it to be present in cc-mode, so
I can switch to using one of the modes shipped with Emacs instead of
my own hacked-together mode.  I know other people who like this
feature too.

I tried to add it to cc-mode myself, but the code is too obtuse for me
to be able to easily figure out how to do it properly :-).

Thanks,
