Say a command-line switch? e.g --disable-crashreporter
YMMV but I do find stack traces to be useful, especially when tracking hard
to reproduce issues.  Yes, I agree that a coredump provides more
information but there are relatively few users that have been able to
successfully generate a coredump file for a bug report.    Having a window
pop up that gives the user a text based error report and optionally a
coredump (wxDebugReport::AddDump()) would be enormously helpful.  I really
like the idea of allowing in-situ bug reporting.
