I meant to reply to this thread earlier, but was out sick, and am
still catching up...
I guess I am the maintainer of infoagents. I do not intend to
build lynx for Athena 10; as Tim points out, the version included
in the distribution is more recent and works fine (or at least
probably better than what's in the locker currently). In general,
we want to get out of the business of maintaining our own builds
of such software, where possible.
