Yeah, I used to depend on lynx (which admittedly is bad too), but lynx
changed their ascii output format in a way that broke what I was doing, so I
had to switch to links.
That said, it's only documentation, so unless ou are a packager, you can
remove this from your makefile and read the HTML directly.
