Could you use:

	grep -v '^[:space:]*$'

Or will that not catch tab characters?  I couldn't find the actual 
definition of the [:space:] sequence anywhere other than what man 
grep stated:

	Finally,  certain  named classes  of  characters  are  predefined.
	Their names are self  explanatory...

	It may look like I'm just sitting here doing nothing,
   but I'm really actively waiting for all my problems to go away.
