----------------------------------------+-----------------------------------
 The implementation of the 'strip-eol' option (which I submitted as a patch
 some time ago) had a flaw (as identified by Marc Dürner on the boost-build
 mailing list) in which it could strip newlines in the middle of the
 output, as opposed to only at the end of output, as intended.

 This patch fixes that issue and introduces a new option called 'join-
 lines' which will replace ALL newlines in the output with a space.

 Note that I've introduced a pair of functions that are candidates for the
 string module and which perhaps should be moved there.
