Only thing I would say is that Links doesn't seem to support cookies, or
if it does, it's not documented, and there's no way in the config files to
change its behaviour.  Also, it seems that they haven't yet got file
upload working with javascript, it just sits there for about 10 mins, then
spews a load of hex to the screen, but to its credit if you hit enter, it
just returns to where you were, with the submit button highlighted, which
is cool really, I mean it seems to have propper error handling, it doesn't
just segmentation fault.

Cheers.
