portable way to normalize whitespace?

2011-02-10 Thread Daily, Jeff A 
I'm aware of GNU make's text processing functions.  Specifically, I'm looking 
for the $(strip string) functionality, but hopefully portable.  Is this 
functionality available portably?  Thanks.

Portably within make, no.  As a shell sub-process, yes, using common
shell text processing programs (such as sed).
