Lets see, the first thing to do is to get the development source and find
out how different things are now.  We have been wildly modifying the
source and it may look a bit different.  It can be found at
http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/klaus/merged/all/ (Currently,
lynx-2.7.1ac-0.24.zip is the latest)

You should also join lynx-dev to be aware of ongoing changes.  Send a mail
message to address@hidden with "subscribe lynx-dev"  (without the
quotation marks) on a line by itself. 

I am forwarding this to the list since I am but one of many contributors
and I am sure some of the other people will have some helpful comments.
