The version 2 he's referring to does link to some graphics libraries,
but they don't automatically come into play (I haven't spent the time
to see why - noting that it wasn't a release version):
/usr/local/bin/links:
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4001c000)
libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x40020000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40026000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x40110000)
/usr/local/bin/links2:
libtiff.so.3 => /usr/lib/libtiff.so.3 (0x40014000)
libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/libjpeg.so.62 (0x40041000)
libpng.so.2 => /usr/lib/libpng.so.2 (0x40060000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4008f000)
libgpm.so.1 => /usr/lib/libgpm.so.1 (0x40092000)

libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x401b2000)
libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x4029c000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
libncurses.so.5 => /usr/local/lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x402ab000)
(I should add a comment about the misleading use of ncurses but haven't
found a suitable place for it ;-)

That's my impression. Though depending on the site, the same versions of
w3m and links will be treated differently - some sites decide that one or
the other of those are not capable of handling frames.
