$(AM_CFLAGS) is one of the variables set by Automake, which ELinks no
longer uses. $(CPPFLAGS) should be used whenever the C preprocessor
is run, according to the GNU Coding Standards. (My build environment
does have an important -I option there.)

old libsmjs packages.

Don't look for gettext message catalogs in ../po/ unless ELinks is being
run as src/elinks, ./src/elinks, or .../src/elinks.
Discovered by Arnaud Giersch, this alternate fix (than what is in debian
package 0.11.1-1.4) closes debian bug #417789 and redhat bug #235411.
Also reported in: CVE-2007-2027.
Restricting it to only work with --enable-debug was also considered,
however, it is an important feature for translaters so this less
paranoid fix was chosen.
The configure script checks whether it is possible to compile a use of
POPpx without an n_a variable; if not, the source code then defines
those variables. This is slower than including Perl's patchlevel.h
and comparing the version numbers to 5.8.8 but I expect this to be
more reliable as well.

When trying to view a binary file, this hook would cut it at the first
'\0'.

It complains here that n_a might be used uninitialized and POPpx doesn't
set anything like it.

In revision 1.15 of dns.c (as it was called way back then), pasky
backported a fix from Links 0.97pre2 to try gethostbyaddr before
trying gethostbyname for DNS lookups:
MacOS address resolution fix (Aldy Hernandez) (from 0.97pre2)
However, that fix introduced a bug, because it was calling gethostbyaddr
on all addresses, not just IP addresses. Mikulas fixed that bug in Links
0.98:
Do not call gethostbyaddr when name is not ip address (it should avoid
some useless nameserver queries)'
This fix was never backported to ELinks. Until today.
This commit is functionally the same as the fix in Links 0.98, plus it uses
inet_aton for great correctness!
This fixes a bug reported in #elinks by tnks, whereby lookups for
yubnub.org resulted in 121.117.98.110 == 0x7975626E == 'y', 'u', 'b', 'n'.
I believe that it also fixes bug 691 (which is already closed with a
workaround).

Revert commit 2d6840b9bd9d3a7a45a5ad92b4e98ff7224d6d97. It is causing
passive FTP via IPv6 to fail on ftp.funet.fi. ELinks sends PASV and
the server says "425 You cannot use PASV on IPv6 connections. Use EPSV
instead."

Use the http: AsciiDoc macro instead of link:http:.
Identify the supported version of Lua. Mention the related bug 742.
"Help | About" nowadays groups scripting backends under "Scripting".
Document proxy_for_hook.
The enable_systems_functions function has been removed.
The setlocale function is nowadays called os.setlocale, and it does
affect the operation of ELinks.
The execute function does not return the exit code.
Document tmpname, edit_bookmark_dialog, xdialog, set_option, get_option.
Document elinks_home.
However, I did not update the example Lua scripts.
