[NEW] www/lynx

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.

Do you need help?X

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.
