New unofficial links web browser packages
I recently started playing around with package maintenance, and ended up
packaging a third branch of the 'links' web browser development tree.
This one's named 'glinks'
Links version 2.1pre11 has the old character mode and all the features
therein, plus:
* A GUI mode (Frame buffer and lightweight X11)
* SSL support (links against openssl like links-ssl packages do)
* Javascript support
* More advanced bookmark system, history system
* Other neat features
It makes for a nice light-weight alternative to browsers like mozilla and
konqueror, but beats the text-based browsing and limited feature sets of
other branches of the other linkses and lynxes.
Feel free to play with the source packages and the i386 binary .deb:

CC me in your replies, I'm not subscribed to debian-user.
P.S., I'm not sure how compatible all the openssl/links licenses are, so
not filing an ITP.
