Some pathname things that were broken one way before in OS/2 are now
broken another way :)

Take a look at a directory on another drive than the one Lynx is run
from (dired), and try to do a rename or chmod on a file.  It used to
start looking up localhostc or localhostd...that problem is fixed, but
now it tries to find the file without the drive letter, i.e.:

file://localhost/incoming/lynx2.8.1.tar.gz instead of
file://localhost/c:/incoming/lynx2.8.1.tar.gz

This is less broken than I had left it (I could never find that
problem), but still doesn't work.  Also, now that the EMX version uses
HTdos.c, there are some compiler warnings (discarded const)...I
haven't seen any associated problems yet, though.
