ugh.  (I did test-compile that when I added the configure script option - I
_should_ test-compile all options when I do a patch, but often find that I've
run out of time or diskspace to do it every time - sorry).

I have a to-do item to make a symbolic link for one (Henry's pointed this out).
iirc, I added the configure test for 'ln -s', but didn't do the followup
work on makefile.in

I thought the ref was a good idea, but the overall consensus pointed to the
actual docs (it settles those arguments about what copyright applies to
Lynx if the home site changes their wording, or removes the file).

sort of (I'm sitting in a 4-day course checking my email - but I can do my
own test-compile for the first problem while I'm letting my brain rot).
