 It works fine here:
 
     # echo -e 'foo\015' | cat -vte
     foo^M$
     # echo -e 'foo\015' | sed -e 's/[[:cntrl:]]*$//' | cat -vte
     foo$
     #
 
 Pleae note that the example in the porters-handbook is meant to be a
 Makefile snippet, so the dollar (`$') character is doubled (because of
 the way make(1) handles dollar signs in makefiles).
 
 If you test this on a shell's command line, replace '$$' with '$' in the
 regexp, as I did above.
