If you do this, please give some thought to minimising the impact on the
core code.  The things that need to be possible are for Javascript 
support to be excluded with a minimal impact on the size, and for, say,
VBScript, to be added with no further changes to the core code.  I think
this is the approach that Microsoft are taking (DLLs which understand the
languages and a browser core which just about knows when to invoke the
DLLs).

I don't want to see Lynx go the way of MSIE, where you need a very powerful
machine to run it at all and it can take 30 seconds to a minute to start up.


I suspect that you may have to do a lot of rework on the internals of Lynx,
to make it fit the Java/VBScript object model.
