well, it's always possible - I don't think the code has been parameterized
to support this (it's all constants in the relevant section).  I'll take
a look to see how much work is involved.

The current version of lynx is 2.8.2 (2.8.3 in development)
It's available at
        http://lynx.browser.org
        http://sol.slcc.edu/lynx/release
        ftp://lynx.isc.org/lynx-2.8.2
