Uh, oh... I was working on '--enable-compressed-help'. I should have
mentioned before attacking the subject. Anyway, I managed to patch them
together.

To be able to do a robust and future exploitable help files, we have to
have '.html_' versions of help files _with_ all href="..." turned into
'sed'able strings, i.e
        <a href="Lynx_url_support.html">URL Schemes Supported by Lynx</a>).
is converted into
        <a href="@LYNX_URL_SUPPORT@">URL Schemes Supported by Lynx</a>).

I did this on all help files and I was editing 'makefile.in' for
converting .html_ to .html(.gz).

Can we fix compression program as 'gzip' (thus extension '.gz')?
Otherwise lots of if has to be in the makefile.

BTW, at the moment I grab the configured 'gzip' path from config.cache
for compression. I think GZIP_PATH can be obtained from configure,
right? This needs again an update in configure which I can not do it.
Tom which variable can I use for gzip?

ps: I also marked some of the http: urls in the help files. But it
dependent on my judgement (see attachment). If you think more (or less)
has to be in, then please send me the name of the help file and url, then
I can update them as well.

I will wait for some answers before I submit the patch...

Sinan.
