no - that is an option which forces color to be shown -- or whatever the
ANSI sequences would do -- even if the terminal description says color is
not available. So that would work on half the color terminals that I know
of (not worth cluttering up ncurses).
It should be no harder to build ncurses than to build lynx (just takes more
diskspace). BSDI's close enough to FreeBSD - which does build - afaik (I
had an account on a BSDI box for a couple of months last year - long enough
to build ncurses and a few other things.
