OK. What makes is so big? 6MB seems really big. The RISC OS build zips are
2.4MB and it's statically link to all libraries and the zip includes all
external resources.

Right, I'll try to give this a try over Christmas.

OK. I'll probably work on redesigning the download section first, so there
will be plenty of time to get that worked out.

OK, good thanks! I want there to be quite a lot of variety, so that would
be cool.

François is a BeOS fan and Haiku developer. He started porting NetSurf
to BeOS to fill the void between Links and Firefox, and to replace the
closed-source NetPositive as default browser in Haiku.

He's always rushing to fix C89 breakages since BeOS binaries must be
built using gcc 2.95 because of C++ ABI compatibility. Currently François
builds under ZETA (BeOS R6), and tests under Haiku both on real hardware
and in QEMU.

Just tweaked it slightly for English.

Best regards,

Michael
