Hi all,

this is a port of the current development version of
the www browser Lynx. Features see below.

It compiles and runs fine on my not-quite-official
version of OpenBSD, as well as it's reported (by irc)
to run on 3.2-stable/i386 and 3.2-stable/sparc after
linking libcurses to libncurses (not needed on -current).

Please test the port, and commit if no negative
comments have appeared within one week.

Note: if you use this port at the (i386) text mode
console in colour mode with TERM=wsvt25 (instead of
pcvt25 or vt220), you _will_ need the following diff:

Note: my MUA or submit agent may have changed the patch:
the two lines that look empty in reality consist of
a space ( ) character on a line by itself. (Anyone
knows a way to _force_ pine to encode outgoing
messages quoted-printable?)

After having applied the patch above,
# cd /usr/src/share/termtypes
# make obj && make && make install clean
will install the patched files.

The patch is derived from the pcvt25 and ecma+color
entries and has been sent to the appropiate maintainers,
too, so it may appear in -current if it is desired by
the core developer team.

New features:
* colour (see above)
* IPv6 (tested)
* pretty printing source view
* better table rendering (looks coolio)
* internal document caching reduces network load (tested)
  (e.g. when switching from parsed to source view and vice versa)
* file upload (yet untested)
* scrollbar/wheel support in xterm? (untested)
* textfields may need activation (works)
* SSL/https support (MSN hoTMail works)
  Note: https support is also in in-tree lynx-2.8.2

This version has not undergone a security audit, so
it's no candidate to put in-tree unless someone wants
to do that.
