       The order of the options specified is relevant.  Repeated options get
       repeated dumps.

       "mech-dump" will only work on HTML documents when used on remote URLs,
       but will assume any local file you pass it is HTML. If it is not, there
       won't be any usable results.

       Proxy settings are specified through the environment (e.g.
       "http_proxy=http://proxy.my.place/").  See LWP::UserAgent for details.
