INIT_OPTION used to initialize union option_value at compile time by
casting the default value to LIST_OF(struct option) *, which is the
type of the first member. On sparc64 and other big-endian systems
where sizeof(int) < sizeof(struct list_head *), this tended to leave
option->value.number as zero, thus messing up OPT_INT and OPT_BOOL
at least. OPT_LONG however tended to work right.
This would be easy to fix with C99 designated initializers,
but doc/hacking.txt says ELinks must be kept C89 compatible.
Another solution would be to make register_options() read the
value from option->value.tree (the first member), cast it back
to the right type, and write it to the appropriate member;
but that would still require somewhat dubious conversions
between integers, data pointers, and function pointers.
So here's a rather more invasive solution. Add struct option_init,
which is somewhat similar to struct option but has non-overlapping
members for different types of values, to ensure nothing is lost
in compile-time conversions. Move unsigned char *path from struct
option_info to struct option_init, and replace struct option_info
with a union that contains struct option_init and struct option.
Now, this union can be initialized with no portability problems,
and register_options() then moves the values from struct option_init
to their final places in struct option.
In my x86 ELinks build with plenty of options configured in, this
change bloated the text section by 340 bytes but compressed the data
section by 2784 bytes, presumably because union option_info is a
pointer smaller than struct option_info was.

src/protocol/fsp/fsp.c: All options had been removed in 0.13.GIT.
src/protocol/smb/smb2.c: Ditto.
Documentation strings of most options used to contain a "\n" at the
end of each source line. When the option manager displayed these
strings, it treated each "\n" as a hard newline. On 80x24 terminals
however, the option description window has only 60 columes available
for the text (with the default setup.h), and the hard newlines were
further apart, so the option manager wrapped the text a second time,
resulting in rather ugly output where long lones are interleaved with
short ones. This could also cause the text to take up too much
vertical space and not fit in the window.
Replace most of those hard newlines with spaces so that the option
manager (or perhaps BFU) will take care of the wrapping. At the same
time, rewrap the strings in source code so that the source lines are
at most 79 columns wide.
In some options though, there is a list of possible values and their
meanings. In those lists, if the description of one value does not
fit in one line, then continuation lines should be indented. The
option manager and BFU are not currently able to do that. So, keep
the hard newlines in those lists, but rewrap them to 60 columns so
that they are less likely to require further wrapping at runtime.
I am reverting all copiousoutput support because of bug 917.

Currently, when ELinks passes the name of a local file to an external
MIME handler program, it encodes the name as a URI. Programs
typically do not expect this, and they then fail to open the file.
ELinks should instead quote the file name for the shell.
Unfortunately, Debian has lines like this in /etc/mailcap:
audio/mpeg; xmms '%s'; test=test "$DISPLAY" != ""
If ELinks were changed to replace the %s with e.g.
'/home/Kalle/doc/Topfield/How to upgraded the Firmware(English).pdf'
(quotes included), then the quotes would cancel out and the shell
would split the file name into multiple arguments. That could even
provide a way for malicious persons to make ELinks run arbitrary
shell commands.
The examples in RFC 1524 all have %s without any quotes.
Debian has two bug reports about the quoting behaviour:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=90483http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=221717
This patch therefore tries to detect whether the %s has been quoted
already, and remove the quotes if so. That way, the next patch will
be able to safely add its own quotes. This removal of quotes applies
only to mailcap files; MIME handlers defined in elinks.conf should
already be in the format preferred by ELinks.

at least under Linux. I didn't test network part of external handlers.
Files in tmpdir must be delete somehow. Maybe make a list of files
to unlink and delete them while quitting ELinks.
