Lets take a quick look at what my server's log says via my stats package:

Lynx : 14352

Lynx 2.5 Monroe County Library System libwww-FM : 8

      8| 2.14         

Lynx-FM 2-4-FM libwww-FM : 6

      6| 2.14         


So there are a variety of Lynx "versions" out there that would have to be
taken into account.
