I got it mostly done, but got stalled trying to get the TCP
connection scheduling working.  I just put what I have at

  http://pdos.lcs.mit.edu/~rsc/links-native-plan9.tar.gz

if anyone is interested in picking up the torch.

I spent a little while looking at web browsers yesterday
(I'm sick of using FreeBSD and would like to switch back
to Plan 9, but one important requirement is having a web
browser for day-to-day stuff).  I'm not even that happy with
any of the web browsers available to me on FreeBSD, so I've
kind of resigned myself to having a web browser for the 80%
I do on simple pages, and then use Windows for the rest.
I took another look at Charon.  Maybe the right solution is
to get the Plan 9 shims working so that Charon looks like
a Plan 9 window.  One big thing that both Charon and Links are
missing is the ability to highlight text on web pages and
then snarf it.
