No, I tried but could not build any of those on our Solaris environment. The only binary I got working was links on W32, which is unsupported. It looks fine, but I haven't figured out how to dump to a text file yet! So for now we're using Gavin Spearhead's html2text, an unsupported freeware Windows app that's reasonably configurable and does a nice job with tables.
