[change from 2000/04/17, propagating now to distutils copy] Dropped the 'collapse_ws' option and replaced it with 'collapse_join' -- it's *much* faster (no 're.sub()') and this is the reason I really added 'collapse_ws', ie. to remove leading whitespace from a line being joined to the previous line.
