        I don't want to leave you high and dry, Subir, but we can't
stick our head in the sand about what has happened this week.  My
simple offer to "officialize" the FM code set as a v2.7 so that people
at sites which require some kind of "officialness" could benefit from
the bug fixes and enhancements of the past four months has escalated
far beyond anything I offered, and no mechanism is in place for putting
out a v2.7 release in that manner.   To use Al's own words, unless
people "get real" about the current situation for Lynx development,
there's no point talking about binaries.  First figure out how/if
these expectations can be met, at all.
