Sanitized clues erroneously end in new lines #40

Thanks to some sleuthing over in https://github.com/jpnance/xw/issues/3, I've learned that html2text() appends a newline to the end of the strings it processes. That behavior probably makes enough sense when you're using it on full documents, but it's a little weird for short strings like crossword clues.

I currently use html2text to clean up AmuseLabs puzzles and WSJ puzzles. Easy enough to strip out, and that will probably result in more "standard" puz files.

This is resolved in the latest release! (We'd been a long time without a release!)
