LYNX-DEV Can't read local file which includes '%xx' in path.

[Nokubi Takatsugu]

  Lynx can't read local file which includes '%xx' in path like
'/home/who/wwwdata/somehost/%7Euser/index.html'.
  Because lynx simply adds 'file:///absolute-path/' to argument as a
local file or directory and attempts to access by that URL.

  I made an ad hoc patch. That is below.

  Would you like to fix this bug in next release?
