/** uglify_query - a function to remove unneded spacing out of SQL queries
  * 
  * This is a very basic function that can be used both in OOP and non-OOP 
  * environments, transforming an SQL query that was formatted for readibility
  * into a short, one-liner, single-spaced query that won't produce a nasty log
  * pollution and line noise.
  * 
  * @param string $query The pretty formatted query, with tabs, newlines etc.
  * @return string The query, stripped of all extra spaces, tabs and newlines
  *
