LYNX-DEV Problem with makefile in 271ac0100

[Mark Mentovai]

I've discovered a glitch in the makefile supplied with Lynx 2.7.1ac-0.100.
I don't think this problem affects 0.98, but I may be mistaken.  The
problem - makefile (makefile.in, actually) currently contains instructions
that look like this:

all lynx:
        cd WWW/Library/unix && $(MAKE) CC="$(CC)" \
                LY_CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)"
                CPPFLAGS="$(CPPFLAGS)" \
                LYFLAGS="$(SITE_LYDEFS)"

That causes the CPPFLAGS and SITE_LYDEFS to -NOT- get passed on for
building libwww, due to the lack of a backslash after LY_CFLAGS is passed.
That could be a problem.  The solution to this is simple: put it back in.

all lynx:
        cd WWW/Library/unix && $(MAKE) CC="$(CC)" \
                LY_CFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)" \
                CPPFLAGS="$(CPPFLAGS)" \
                LYFLAGS="$(SITE_LYDEFS)"

I'm happily awaiting the release of 2.8!
