Subject: [PATCH] lib/generator.rb: Ignore blank template lines.

If you have a template that contains a value that might be nil or an
empty string such as:
```
<%= test_case.comment %>
```
You often do not want a blank line appear in the output if there is no
comment.

This patch changes the ERB setttings so that these blank lines are not
included in the output.

This may cause minor issues where this behaviour has been relied on
such as templates that expect a Ruby syntax related 'end' to insert a
blank line.
```
<% end %>
```
But these are easily fixed by inserting a new blank line into the
template.

Technical details:

It does this by setting the ERB *trim_mode* to '<>'
'<>' omits newline for lines starting with <% and ending in %>
