I think the lack of "-f makefile.dos" is an error in the batchfile.
There is no makefile in the chrtrans directory.  It should be 
"make -f makefile.dos".  It might be hard to include the build of
pdcurses in a batchfile, since the distribution usually needs to be
patched before compiling.

In tcplib/include/tcp/wattcp.h, WATCONF is defined as WATTCP.CFG, in the
versions that I have been using.  Wayne had  binaries compiled to use
WATCONF itself as the variable.  Perhaps Wayne can comment on this.  I
think most people compiling their own lynx for DOS will use WATTCP.CFG.
