I've rebuilt MIT's version of lynx-2.7.1 on a sipb-athena-8.2
machine, so it looks in the right place for the terminfo files.
Testing on an IS-LLA machine (alice-whacker) shows that it get
terminfo right, and still does certificates the way the old one does.
Todd, I've put the new binary (named "lynx-2.7.1.jmorzins") in
/afs/.athena.mit.edu/software/infoagents/arch/linux/i386_linux2/MIT-only
Feel free to look at it, but I think all that needs to be done is
to rename it to "lynx-2.7.1", so that the lynx wrapper script
runs it.
(Speaking of the wrapper script, it would be better if it used a
quoted "$@" instead of a bare $@ when it execs the binary.)
