The OS/2 lynx build does not work with RSXWIN or RSXNT under WfWg3.11 with
Win32s. 

I'm still checking DOSPATH #ifdefs for those which apply to
Win32s/RSXWIN/EMX-GCC.

I got some simple sample apps to work, but I'm having a library problem
when trying to use networking. Perhaps this is the problem with the OS/2
Lynx as well.
