[uClibc]web browser on uClinux

Hi Erik.

I did have a look at Links previously, but it's in C++ and therefore doesn't
like much uClibc (uncompatible headers)

Or maybe I've missed something.

What is nice with w3m, is that it can read frames (convert them into
tables).

have you looked at "links"
    http://artax.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~mikulas/vyplody/links/
?  It is similar to "lynx", but it renders things properly
and sucks much less.  I prefer it to w3m since I find its
UI much more agreeable,
