merge 153618 369198
retitle 369198 links: please update to 1.00pre19 and include OpenSSL support
thanks

#153618 should have been closed when 0.98-2 was uploaded. Since it's about
getting a new version into Debian, I am merging it with mine and updating
the title of bug report I filed.

Please, note that 153618 asks to modify links to links(2), not the original
links. The links as we know it was originally created by Mikulas Patocka and
is still being developed and updated, albeit slowly.

Personally, I prefer links over any of its derivatives.

According to links' ChangeLog, 1.00pre16 brought license update, so now
links can be linked with OpenSSL. This can resolve outstanding issue with
links-ssl "suggesting" (well, depending, but there is no real dependence)
elinks as its replacement. elinks is quite different from links and
shouldn't be used as 1:1 replacement.

Now that links can be linked with OpenSSL, links-ssl can be resurrected. If
it's possible, my preference would be for one package that would use OpenSSL
if available/installed on runtime, but would not depend on it.

Peter, if you are not interested in updating and maintaining links and its
bug list, maybe, you could ask somebody else to take over (no, I am not DD).

 - Peter.
