/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition

* Exercise 1-18: Write a program to remove trailing blanks and tabs from each
* line of input, and to delete entirely blank lines.
*
* Answer: Simple -- start from the end of the line and look for a non-blank
* character. Once found, place your \n and \0 just afterwards. By checking
* that 'i' > 1, it ensures that blank lines never get spit out, since a line
* with content will always be 2 or more characters long due to the \n.
