Default compressing long columns into subset averages

Hello,
I am looking for an easy way to compress a large number of data, given
in one long column, into a shorter column that contains the average of
every N cells. Say for instance I have a column with one thousand
numbers, and I want a new column of the one hundred 10-item averages.
The averages would be consecutive, so if A1:A1000 contains my data, B1
would contain average(A1:A10), B2 would have average(A11:A20), and so
forth. I would want N (here 10) to be user-specifiable (is that a
word?), or it could be taken from a cell. I can think of a worksheet to
do this, but is there a quick way to do it in the same worksheet that
contains my data, e.g. using a function?
