There is an Advanced Editing plugin
(http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/AdvancedEditingPlugin) which does similar
things (like removing/inserting lines etc). It might be a good idea
merge your plugin with this one and make the removing-spaces-on-save
configurable.

We also have the join/split lines plugin in gedit-plugins which could
also be merged with the advanced editing plugin.

Steve, what do you think?
