According to COPYING, such permissions should be listed in AUTHORS.
This patch fixes an issue whereby a newline character appearing within
a hidden input field is incorrectly reinterpreted as a space character.
The patch handles almost all cases, and includes a test case.
15/18 tests pass, but the remainder currently fail due to the fact
that ELinks does not currently support textarea scripting.
It is all in one line because <http://elinks.cz/authors.html>
is converted from AUTHORS and the conversion script is not
clever enough to know which newlines should be kept.
If the licence of ELinks is ever changed to "GNU GPL v3 or later",
I'll probably stop hacking it, but I don't want to legally forbid
such a change.
The relicensing permission was in message
<200808271214.22088.kdudka@redhat.com> posted to elinks-dev on
2008-08-27. COPYING suggests such things should be added to AUTHORS.

The following files also conflicted, but they had not been manually
edited in the elinks-0.12 branch after the previous merge, so I just
kept the 0.13.GIT versions:
doc/man/man1/elinks.1.in
doc/man/man5/elinks.conf.5
doc/man/man5/elinkskeys.5
po/fr.po
po/pl.po
where the fractional part overflowed to 0 before the integer part
was incremented.
Thanks to Marti Raudsepp for finding this bug and Marti and pasky
for the fix.
