* tweak ifdef'ing of `debug_delay' (only available with SH_EX _and_ WIN_EX) -LP
* tweak src/Xsystem.c (extern system_is_NT is now ifdef'ed with WIN_EX) so
  exec_command() can also be used with DJGPP when compiled with _WIN_CC symbol
  (though choice of _WIN_CC is questionable) -LP
* simplified ifdef'ing for resolv() vs LYGetHostByName() for DJGPP -TD
* DJGPP with WATT32 now does DNS lookup via LYGetHostByName()/gethostbyname()
  like other lynx ports so we get reasonable error recovery when DNS lookup
  fails.  (For example, we now avoid a hang when wattcp.cfg is not configured
  properly - a typical situation when playing with nullpkt.com).  Build with
  -DNSL_FORK (in both src and WWW makefiles) is recommended:  this will prevent
  unexpected 1 second curses delay when alerting a wrongly configured tcp.  (No
  real fork() in DJGPP, unfortunately:  this function always returns -1 and set
  'errno' to ENOMEM, as MS-DOS does not support multiple processes.  It exists
  only to assist in porting Unix programs) -LP
* alternative patch (replaces HN's) for UCdomap.c -KW
* modify initialization of lynx_temp_space in case the given name has
  embedded "~", ifdef'd for WIN_EX -SH
* fix a problem hanging caused by allowing some unknown entities in an ALT
  string.  The "hang" problem was caused by a combination of removing too much
  under 'case S_check_name' in 'LYUCFullyTranslateString_1', _and_ having
  having some Latin 1 character codes that are untranslatable to the display
  character set -KW
* added lynx.cfg setting PSRCVIEW_NO_ANCHOR_NUMBERING that inhibits link
  numbering when in psrc mode if set to TRUE (default is FALSE) -VH
* fixes for justification code (anchor position recalculation) and the
  GridText.c:*TrimHightext (it was not designed to support LY_SOFT_NEWLINES),
  correcting rendering of links on wrapped lines in psrc mode -VH
* fixes to www_tcp.h, LYUtils.c and UCdomap.c to build on BeOS 4.5 -TD
* fixes for CYGWIN with Slang, mainly due to platform differences in Slang -DK
* fixes for DJGPP, missing headers and declarations -DK
* let CJK charsets default to 7 Bit Approximations.  Needed to display entities
  in the decimal 160-255 range.  (Restore behavior before the changes made to
  declarations of charsets on 1999-03-04) -HN
* rename -number_links_forms to -number_fields -TD
* add the -number_links_forms command line option (John Hawkinson
  <address@hidden>).
* modify configure script so --enable-change-exec sets default for
  the --enable-exec-links and --enable-exec-scripts options -TD
* modify ifdef's for ENABLE_OPTS_CHANGE_EXEC since one or both of EXEC_LINKS
  and EXEC_SCRIPTS must also be defined to make this effective (reported by
  KED).
* add explanations of the various choices for revealing/not images, to Users
  Guide, Options Help & lynx.cfg -PW
* fix LYgetstr() to disable saving of input text on LYE_ENTER state when the
  input is supposed to be hidden -KW
* add/use LYaddstr() to fix some const-casts -TD
* move dependency of "lynx$x" from "install" to
  "install-bin:" in top-level makefile.in -PG
* corrected display of SGML_LITTERAL content -VH
* now LY_SOFT_NEWLINE is used in psrc mode to denote wrapped lines (as in plain
  source mode) -VH
* add configure option --enable-scrollbar -TD
* make the charset-choice code lynx.cfg-reloading-safe -VH
* add experimental code to allow users to specify that a subset of the 
compiled-in
  charset definitions are available for selection for display (ifdef'd with
  EXP_CHARSET_CHOICE, added configure option --enable-charset-choice -TD) -VH
* add/use ANSI_PREPRO symbol to simplify ifdef's concerning preprocessor token
  substitution/concatenation -TD
* modify ifdef of code that shows current CJK code in the title area under
  SH_EX as well as CJK_EX -TD
* modify HTMLDTD.c to set canclose for <Hn> inside <PRE></PRE> -VH
* correct ifdef'ing of set_ws_title(), which should be applied only on win32
  (reported by Frederic L W Meunier) -LP, TD
* reduce compiler warnings from Borland C++Builder.  Most of these are casts,
  with boolean constructs dominating -JS
