I wrote an additional patch concerned with this.

http://www.t3.rim.or.jp/~patakuti/tmp/lynx/lynx.patch_for_286dev13

This patch makes lynx to be able to convert euc-jp and Shift_JIS
strings to utf-8.  But unfortunately not to covert iso-2022-jp to
utf-8.
# need more hack to do it.

Anyway I think this patch gives us(Japanese) chance to enjoy WWW more.
For example, using msn search, Wikipedia's search on euc-jp screen and
viewing euc-jp pages on UTF-8 screen.
