Would it be better to return end if end >= dst?  Then one could
check for truncation with 'ret == end' instead of 'ret >= end',
which is slightly nicer.

Are there any disadvantages with returning end in this case?

I thought we were to rename this function to something else?
Chuck suggested clc_compactws(), David clc_normws().  My vote
is for clc_compactws, unless someone has a better name.

clc_strlower and clc_strupper is easier to read, and still short enough.
But I think these were deliberately made short in a comp.lang.c thread,
so maybe that discussion belongs on comp.lang.c.
