You might even be able to get my MingW32 binary, which I sent in in
tar.gz format to the lynxbinaries at trill.org address.  The web page
above claims that mouse support is broken.  However, my MingW32/slang
version of the same code has near-perfect mouse support.  Also, see
the new, corrected version of the MingW32 makelynx.bat.
