I see that you are patching against 2-7.  Are you aware of a great many
changes already taking place with character translation, Win32, and
autoconfigure?  If not, have a look at
http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/current/index.html. 

If you are aware of this, can you test the autoconfigure script on the
Mach and Ultrix platforms?  We have tested against HP-UX a little, and a
lot on Sun/Solaris and *BSD. 

What do you mean by "support-file install path?"
