Hello,

It has been a while since Emacs won the Editor War^[Citations needed].
Do you, like me, sometimes wake up in the middle of the night, feeling
something is amiss, only to realise after M-x list-packages that there
are not enough web browsers in ELPA for a Browser War (inside Emacs)?

luwak[1] is a simple web browser in Emacs, utilising the power of lynx
-dump[2].  It is currently text-only and GET-only.

Features:

- Asynchronous loading
- Some usual browser features: open, reload, search with a search
  engine, follow links, go forward / backward in history, copy url of
  the current page or link at point
- Completion from persistent history in prompt to open a url
- Multiple ways of rendering links: numbered, forward-sexp or hide
  altogether
- Quickly open a link on the page with completion for url / link id
- imenu support, from all unindented strings (which look like
  headings)
- Support of storing and capturing for org mode, guessing the title
  (first imenu item)
- Write the dump of the current page to a file
- Render a buffer containing a lynx dump in the luwak mode
- Browse with or without torsocks

It is a rather simple package, there's no nonfree javascript issue as
lynx does not support javascript.  I would like to submit it to ELPA -
let me know what you think, thanks.

Best,
Yuchen
