lynx-dev DOS patch for lynx2.8.5dev.2

[Doug Kaufman]

When I submitted the patch to allow DJGPP to use the configure script,
I mentioned a few problems still "TO DO". This should fix two of them.
I don't think that the change that isn't ifdef'd __DJGPP__ will have
adverse effects on other DOSPATH platforms, but if it does, we can
just make that change for DJGPP alone. The special form /dev/env/ now
works also, allowing environment variables to be coded in as apparent
fixed URLs. Some of the indenting in the patch looks funny. I just let
vim use its default.

  Things still needing fixing for DOS:
  + support for both forms of file addressing, [a-zA-Z]:[/\\] and
    /dev/[a-zA-z]/.

* Should be fixed with this patch

  + support for gzipped help files.  This works with long file names in a DOS
    box under Windows, but not in plain DOS, which doesn't allow double
    extensions.

* Still to be fixed, if possible

  + better handling of local files in root directory.  "file:///c:/" takes a
    long time to work, but "file:///c:/." works fine.  I haven't really looked
    to see why.

* Should be fixed with this patch

  + no ability to break out of hung nameserver lookups or http requests without
    closing lynx with SIGINT.  This is the biggest complaint I get by email.

* Still to be fixed, if possible
                            Doug
