        I tried this with the MingW32 executable, and the (mis)behavior
is identical.  Presumeably the conversion to use of a CTRACE(message)
function or macro will deal with the empty Lynx.trace file problem, but
I suspect the behavior of trying to look up "localhostc" on ';' is an
independent bug, presumeably failure to include a slash before the disk
when constructing the URL passed to getfile().

        The INSTALLATION file states that the sources can be built for
W32 with cygnus, in which case the autoconf will work, under the bash
shell, but doesn't say anything about the MingW32 interface.  Could
someone review all the relevant information about those matters
(explicitly in relationship to Lynx)?
