Emanuele Giaquinta was concerned that someone would be bit by one or more 
of the bugs in ncurses 5.4 (specificly handling of wide-characters in 
ncursesw), and at first proposed that lynx not build with versions before 
5.5, and we compromised on allowing someone to build lynx using ncursesw 
but disabling the wide-character support.  The configure script defaults 
to the same behavior as before...
