[XeTeX] xdvipdfmx, line breaks and hyphenated words

Hi there,

one of the things that I think it would be interesting to implement in
xdvipdfmx is one feature that Adobe generated documents (such as
http://pdf.codev2.cc/Lessig-Codev2.pdf) have: that the searchable text
contains no line breaks (within the same paragraphs) and hyphenated
works aren't hyphenated in the text within.

This increases search possibilities and it makes easier to copy&paste
from these documents.

I don't know how Adobe gets it, but I guess this feature would be
interesting to implement in xdvipdfmx (if it weren't difficult to
implement).

Thanks for your help,


Pablo
