not exactly:  "conf-tin" was just a sample script that I showed Urs, and he
added it to the build (I use a couple of different scripts now, one which
builds with all of the combinations of compiler and curses or termcap
libraries which are available - not exactly what you have in mind - and a
much reduced version of that, for actual use).

I used this a few weeks ago for testing on this host:

#!/bin/sh
cfg-ncurses \
        --with-screen=ncurses \
        --enable-nsl-fork \
        --enable-default-colors \
        --disable-internal-links \
        $*

(cfg-ncurses in turn is another wrapper ;-)

Perhaps we could add a few cfg-lynx scripts to the samples directory.
