That would need a Build-Conflicts against lynx so the build result is
predictable. Also, I dislike the "-" before that line as it make
failures non-fatal. I don't think we can drop that hunk completely.

Besides that, I wouldn't oppose using w3m. Last time I checked, elinks
looked nicer, but the difference wasn't huge.

Btw, how do the the html links you posted prove anything? That patch
is about the .txt version of the manual.
