How can I remove whitespace on every instance of a particular node which I specify in C#?

I have inherited a fairly large codebase, 90% C++, and I need to get up to speed on it quickly. There are hundreds of .cc files in a wide directory tree structure.

Our product uses zlib and we distribute pre-built binaries on our downloads page that differ from those on the official zlib page. I'm guessing that the reason for this is to avoid mixing C runtimes. The official ones are...
