It was done with a strange way by introducing a bunch of flags in LYMainLoop.c
instead of returning a parameter with LYoptions(). see LYK_DOWNLOAD

This is not good looking but I cannot figure out how to uncache _previous_
document on a later stage.

As I remember, LYoptions() should fit in one page, but it depends on
usermode (not all use Advanced mode), and a number of other options
like exec_links which may be not available in your configuration
but someone run into.
