  I'm not sure that that backspace logic is really unused (seems a
crazy someone can wish to crawl a site dumping it with backspaces).
Documentation and commandline prompts should be updated to exclude '-crawl' as
a case for which --with-backspaces will work (or I don't understand
something).

  Thanks for this - without it lynx emitted 80 spaces and newline instead of
one newline for each empty line when dumping.

  In general, with_backspaces is ignored if -dump or -crawl are not specifed 
and the variable LYMain.c:with_backspaces is set to false, so this
modification seems to be unnecessary.

  Documentation should be updated too.

 Tom, did you considered "show document title in xterm window title" patch?
