Well, I can't promise that I'll have time to work on lynx at any given 
point in the future: I have free time now, but in a few weeks it'll be 
final-exam-project-paper crunch time, then I go somewhere to work during 
the summer, and then I start grad school.  Yikes!

Anyway, I've submitted patches/rationales for what I consider the most 
flagrant chunks of dead code, like whole files.  The dead code can be 
chopped at any point that's convenient, really.  If y'all are more 
comfortable doing that at the start of a new dev-cycle, then that's the 
way it should be done.
