Yeah, I don't really want it in the general support folder before  
there's a proven need for it.

Also, I may be overlooking something, but I think your script can be  
reduced to this shell command:

    tr -s '[ \t\n]' ' '

It collapses all sequences of spaces, tabs, and newlines into a  
single space.
