(Could you please wrap your lines at about 75 column?)

links-0.96-2 from RH 7.2 supports -dump according to links -help.
RH 7.3 includes elinks-0.3.0-1 and RH 8.0 includes elinks-0.3.2-1
(http://elinks.or.cz/; executable is named 'links'). Both support -dump.
I'd suggest leaving -dump and probably talking to links developers,
if this option is removed in newer links version.
