I'd like to see something like that .. Basically something to get us from
trying to cram more and more into a single options page screen. Whether
we get an options page along the lines of what Tin has in some of the
later unofficial releases or whether we get an html-forms-based option
screen with some kind of new special lynx-whatever tags for setting the
options, I'm not sure which'd be better ...
Thoughts?
