lynx-dev LYUtils bug patch and update on dired for DOS

[Doug Kaufman]

I've been working on dired for DOS, using Igor Poretsky's patch as a
starting point. I now have rename, move, gzip, gunzip, zip, and unzip
working. I should be submitting a patch within a few days, after I get
to clean up some details. I did come across a problem which seems to
be a bug in the LYPathLeaf function, which under DOS returns a value
of "\filename" rather than "filename". It seems as if it should return
the latter.

The biggest problem so far is with lynx_edit_mode. It looks like it
should be made TRUE in HTAccess.c when dired is appropriate, but it
doesn't seem work under DOS. As a temporary workaround, I declared
it TRUE whenever invoking dired, but this will leave instances where
attempts at file manipulation will fail. Any ideas about this would be
appreciated.
