I don't know if lynx has any advantage over abaco, I ported it
because I needed a test case, because the demos that come
with pdcurses all use a single proc and since lynx (like links)
use select() all the time it was a good test case.

I don't like curses myself and I didn't just for fun, but I see this
could be useful to some people (like emacs fanboys).
Also we could make the perl, tcl and python ports use it.
this will give as a few more apps.

if any of you is planning to port anything, have in mind that
with pdcurses apps can't assume that 0 is the input fd.
use PDC_get_input_fd(); instead.
