Print a nicer error message when asked to build an empty string ('').

This happens sometimes, for example, if you do
	whatever | while read x; do
		redo-ifchange "$x"
	done
and the input contains blank lines.

We could ignore the request for blankness, but it seems like that
situation might indicate a more serious bug in your parser, so it's
probably better to just abort with a meaningful error.
