FWIW, a friend of mine did a quick and trivial modification to allow
Lynx to support Java. (ie spawn AppletViewer if a $DISPLAY variable is
set)

I'm suprised no-one's added pbmtoascii (or AAlib or ascgif or gifscii)
support, at least that I've seen.

The utility of these sort of things might be questionable, but they're
excellent tick-list features. ::-)
