This patchseries has the ultimate goal of making
git-am a builtin.

The version of git-am I'm sending out makes quite heavy
use of system(), but I think that can be worked around.
I just haven't figured out how, yet.

I don't think git-stripspace needs to be a built-in.  It doesn't even
depend on git.  It is just a tiny helper program used by git-am,
git-applymbox, git-commit and git-tag.  If all these commands are made
built-in then git-stripspace becomes useless.

The reason I made it builtin was to de able to call it easily from git-am.

As you say, once all the users are builtin it could be removed, unless somone
is using it in their scripts.
