MANPREP.C
Reformat a "generic printer" doc file for video
output. I call this MANPREP in honor of the wonderful
micro-MAN program by David L. Rick.
manprep does 2 things:
remove adjacent "blank" lines greater than a parameter, and
"back up" over a character followed by a backspace.
Input and output files default to stdin and stdout.
The -l<n> parameter defaults to 2.

linking in a library routine for two filenames and one
option, so I just do the command line here in main().
I would love to be able to omit the file names and use only
i/o redirection, but that is very slow on my old PC.
I prefer to allow numeric options to be contiguous with or
separate from the option letter, so "-l2" and "-l 2" are
both valid. And I prefer to allow options to precede,
follow, or be intermixed with file names. All this flexibility
makes the code a mess, but I think it cuts down on frustration
for the user.
