lynx-dev 284dev17 for Win32

[Webmaster Jim]

I've compiled an executable for Win32 with Borland C++; please see:

http://jim.spath.com/lynx_win32/index.html

There were a couple patches I needed to make for the build (sorry, the
first patch is backwards). I commented out the exp_rand_tempname because
the compile broke with my_srand and my_rand errors. LYMain.c needs a
change for mkdir() as Windows doesn't seem to have file permissions. The
LYOPtions change is there since the define for my_rand seems to only be
in the configure file. I'll need to look at the Borland manual to see
what rand functions exist.

  I tested the executable with minimal browsing, file downloading, and
FTP connections.
