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...

How can we proceed?
