Interesting idea.

I think this puts line breaks at 72 characters.  I think the base64 
standard limits lines to 76 characters.  It should do no harm to remove 
all of them, if a single line is really needed.

Will this generate compile errors?

Maybe if this is commented with /* */, the script limit would not apply 
and removing line-ends above would not be needed.

And maybe un-comment, if needed.

I'd like to hear how this works out.
