SetApplication Parsing

Hi.

   It seems that if I include superfluous spaces in the string I pass to the client node's SetApplication method, not all of them are parsed away as field separators.  For instance,

   client_node.SetApplication ('my_app  arg1')
                                      ^^
will load my_app with 3 arguments ('my_app', '', and 'arg1').  However, 

   client_node.SetApplication ('my_app arg1')
                                      ^
runs as expected.  This is in contrast to the AutoStart method, which uses Python's split function and handles multiple IFSes.

   Perhaps there is a reason SetApplication does not behave the same.  If so, please let me know.  For the time being, I've changed the following CRApplicationNode method in mothership.py.

   def SetApplication( self, app ):
      """SetApplication(name)
      Sets the name of the application that's run."""
      self.Conf('application', string.join (string.split (app)))

   I think everyone else does parentheses different than me.
