PATCH: solution for rogue whitespace in ChangeLog

A bit of rogue whitespace has slipped into ChangeLog again.  I spent 
some time reading the Emacs manual and found that Emacs can 
automatically fix the issue if the "whitespace-auto-cleanup" variable is 
set.  Setting this variable globally is a bad idea, since some files 
really do need whitespace that Emacs sees as problematic:  portable 
shell scripts that need to restore IFS are an example.

I suggest adding this to ChangeLog to make this problem stay solved:
