A somewhat useful utility would be one that would compress C code into as
small space as possible, stripping out all spaces and making variable
names one character a piece when possible. And of course one to expand it
back into 'formatted' text, style could even be incorporated.
I'm sure a Perl fanatic knows a quick solution... I'm always amazed at
how short Perl code is.. :) Anyone care to take care of this utility?
