Okay, I got 2.8.6pre.3 compiled with slang on NetBSD.

   The build was pretty smooth, except -- was there some problem with
   the patch to avoid the libslang/libintl include conflict? cf:
   "http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2006-06/msg00036.html";

With that test of yours (TH),
"http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lynx-dev/2003-05/msg00017.html";,
the result is better with nested-tables toggled off.  With nested-tables
on, the line gets truncated at the right of the screen.

Tried "http://weather.asahi.com/pinpoint/kinki/nara.html";.  :)

Hmmm.  Maybe there is something wrong with my configuration of Lynx.
I don't see any appreciable difference between nested-table toggled
on or off at run time.  The rendering as a whole is very bad either
way, to the point that the table is practically useless.  Cells are
displayed vertically instead of horizontally.  (Is it my screen?  I
access Lynx via a shell account with PuTTY on WindowsXP as the terminal
emulator; only 80 characters wide.)
