Adding a new option would be fine, but strip-eol could be enough for me too.
Though the existing strip-eol, should be fixed too, don't you think?
If output from the command is longer than 1024 bytes, whitespace might
be removed that is somewhere in the middle. I guess noone recognized
this, because output from pkg-config and such tools is usually not
that long...
Oops, you're right.  I'm not sure what I was thinking.  :|

I just submitted a patch (Ticket #6593) that fixes this issue and also adds a new option called 'join-lines' which will replace all newlines in the output with a space.
