Yes.  Each additional piece of code needed to bring up a project like
Lynx is a pain in the butt.  Currently we have: working C compiler &
libraries; OS-supplied curses library; optionally, ncurses or slang,
freeWAIS.  Adding things like GNU make to the list of required tools
makes Lynx more painful to work with.  Let's not.
