hmm (running links -g)

looks as if they just glued a wad of Gtk onto links, which does explain
the relative sizes of the tarballs:

       446820 May 16 18:44 elinks-0.3.0.tar.bz2
       449795 Jan  2  2001 links-0.95.tar.gz
       485442 Jul  2  2001 links-0.96.tar.gz
       545723 Jul 13 11:26 links-0.98.tar.gz
      3509541 Jun 29 15:38 links-2.1pre2.tar.bz2

(the tar.gz/tar.bz2 would typically add another 30%)

executables (0.98 and 2.1pre2)

      1563825 links
      3290100 links2

I'm not impressed...
