That still doesn't remove multiple spaces, ie. whitespace. Some regexp
wizard kid could tell how the whitespace is replaced with a single space.
I'd say that converting the spcial chars would be easy too with regular
expressions.

The thing is I'm all thumbs with regexp so I can only recommend using it but
I have no idea how it would work ;)
