[Bug 478795] [NEW] archmage needs lynx or elinks to convert from chm to text

[Gary Singleton]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: archmage

When trying to convert any chm to text via the -c text or --convert=text
switch you will get:

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/archmod/Cached.py:14: DeprecationWarning: object.__new__() takes no parameters
  __instance = object.__new__(classtype, *args, **kwargs)
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/elinks: not found

Looking at the source it appears that either lynx or elinks must be
installed for text conversion to work but neither is a dependency or
recommended (or suggested).

I also think that the htmldoc package should be added as a recommended
or suggested package because many functions will need this and it's
convenient for users to be able to right click and view the recommended
and suggested packages.  python-beautifulsoup is also one that I would
add to suggested but that's a bit less necessary.

Thanks.
