Code Snippet: Trim the unnecessary white space in a sentence.

This code snippet is trying to trim the unnecessary white space in a sentence to use only one white space between each word.
The key idea of this code is move the rest of the string to the place just after the white space found each time.
QUITE simple but useful code snippet.

Running Enviroment: Visual C++ 2005 Express edition.
