* add -nobold, -noreverse, -nounderline options to disable corresponding
  video attributes (based on a patch by John Hawkinson <address@hidden>) -TD
* add STICKEY_FIELDS to lynx.cfg, which tells lynx whether to activate the
  previous document when an extra key-left is given -VH,TD
* minor cleanup of run_external(), use single return, HTSprintf0 -TD
* for WATT32 configuration, call _eth_release() and _eth_init() in HTTelnet.c
  to make telnet work properly -DK
* correct redefinition of u_long for WATT32 -LP
* modify syslog change to make it more specific, based on comments by KW -TD
* fix potential security problem with SYSLOG_REQUESTED_URLS, which would let
  syslog() send sensitive information as broadcast to any syslog daemon that
  care to listen.
  E.g. URLs with embedded passwords are sent to syslog:
    Sep 11 12:26:06 lynx[16177]: ftp://joe:address@hidden/~joe
  The patch masks the password by breaking up the URL and replacing
  the password with "******" (Gisle Vanem <address@hidden>).
* fix mismatch of const's from call of map_string_to_keysym() in
  lkcstring_to_lkc() -TD
* Supply trailing slash for protocol_proxy settings (whether environment
  variables or lynx.cfg) in HTAccess.c if the slash was omitted and if the
  content otherwise looks normal (starts with http, no su) -KW
* add links for "Free WWW E-mail services" to online help -PW
* add links in online help to FAQ-o-matic -JS
* more fixes to build with slang under cygwin32 - DK
* add/use LYwaddstr(), etc to fix more const-casts (reported by PG) -TD
* modify HTTCP.c to prevent telnet and similar applications from inadvertantly
  using hostname tokens which look like command-line options -KW
* modify configure script's --with-charsets option so that if --without-charsets
  is selected, then it will use a 'minimal' set.  The keyword 'minimal' is
  recognized as the list us-ascii,iso-8859-1,utf-8 (request by KW, HN) -TD
* ifdef'd recursive calls on UCGetLYhndl_byMIME() for charsets that may be not
  present (--with-charsets), and add getLYhndl_byCP() to cover a special case
  of recursion which was also a preexisting hole (reported by Frederic L W
  Meunier, analysis by KW) -TD
* replace fr.po with a placeholder.  Add placeholders for ru.po, pt_BR.po -JS
* review/modify HTNews.c to avoid potential buffer overflows, as well as reduce
  the number of embedded constants that make it difficult to adjust fixed
  buffer sizes -TD
