lynx-dev bloat: easier-to-read

[Philip Webb]

990301 Jim Spath & Henry Nelson swapped notes on bloating,
but their figures weren't that easy to compare (no criticism intended):
below is a tidier tabular version, which i hope may be helpful.

Object sizes:

  2.5            511511

** HN : not linking these reduces Lynx image  c 9 %  663552 -> 606208
   compiling on sun4 with gcc;
   LYDownload.o  &  LYTraversal.o  are almost impossible to exclude;
   the others are fairly easy to exclude, but the gain is small.

JS: Some ideas are worth pursuing IMHO,
eg maybe moving  ucdomp.o  to an external file,
tweaking  LYMainLoop  logic, making cookies a compile-time choice;
reducing  HTML.c  logic probably can't be done in a useful way;
removing  LYMail.c  will not gain that much based on object sizes ( 20 K ).
