Is lynx being used in -dump mode to generate plain text from HTML
docs? If so, we might want to look at the 'html2text' program which
does that and nothing but that and doesn't care about the terminal.
It also does a better job with tables than lynx does.
It's found at http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~mbayer/tools/, and there's
a Debian package.
Not a change to make right before the release, of course.
