[Zope] trailing whitespace optimization

[Gregory Haley]

Hi Paul,

You're right about the size of files with trailing blanks. 
I had a file of over 1 meg yesterday, and when I striped all
the blanks it was only 47K, pretty radical reduction.

There is an external Python method that is part of the zope
Extenions library, it should be in something called
/opt/zope/Extensions/ called strip_blanks.py.  You can
attach it to your zope session, then it is called via:

   <dtml-var "strip_blank(varName)[:-1]">

This will at least strip all the trailing blanks from an
individual variable.

ciao!
greg.
