I am aware of elinks, and the "one-pager" document (in the case
directory) does acknowledge it's relation to links.  I don't doubt
that elinks has greater feature content.  I have ported links 0.9x
simply because it was an assignment given by the VP Open Solaris mandate.  
I imagine it was selected at that point because it is quite stable and 
because 0.98 was already available on sunfreeware.com.

No offense taken.  At this point, most of the prep-work has already
been completed for links 0.99.  Considering that, it would be most
prudent to deliver links and then evaluate whether to spend Sun's
resources integrating elinks as a supplement or replacement.

I apologize for the mess.  I'll fess up to cutting and pasting and
not checking whether tabs or spaces were used.  Below is a correction,
and I'll send updated documents (foss check list and one-pager) to Rick.
