Close, but no cee-gar.  cut does something counter-intuitive with multiple
blanks:

% echo 'a    b' | awk '{print $2}'
b
% echo 'a    b' | cut -d' ' -f2

% echo 'a    b' | sed -r 's/[ ]+/ /g' | cut -d' ' -f2
b

Unfortunately, 'sed -r' isn't in the opengroup.org list of required options,
and sed 's/  / /g' doesn't DTRT for 3 or more blanks (as it won't recursively
apply the change to a *new* double blank formed by the previous change).
