I did, and I'm sure I released that code to lynx-dev too.  I wrote an
intermediate layer that had some wacky define like USE_CURSES that broke
something else, I seem to remember.

Looking through LYCurses.h, the old #define chooser is still there.
If you're using curses/ncurses, you get curses_style; if you're using
slang, you get slang_style.

The question is what happened to slang_style?  Did I just forget to
post that part when I posted my patch, or was it removed for some reason?

Anyway, colour styles for slang was most certainly implemented (by me,
if no-one else).  What has happened to it since, I have no idea.
