BL2 has libc6 2.1.3 so this could be a problem. We will
probably need to recompile it (or perhaps find an earlier
version of the binary).

I don't know this one.

Dillo needs those as well.

Standard stuff.

This is the bit that annoys me. You have to install mozilla
(which is very large) plus all the other stuff. I would prefer
a version of Skipstone that included the required mozilla code
(instead of making us download the whole damn thing).

> [depends] wget retrieves files from the web

The BL2 busybox includes wget

I had mozilla on this machine a while back, but deleted it
to make room for testing other things. I wish I had tried
Skipstone then. I did try Galeon, which works the same way
(it needs the full mozilla, plus lots of other libraries
-- more than Skipstone). I didn't much like Galeon. It
was only slightly faster than mozilla (on this machine) and
not nearly as nice to use. Given a choice between Galeon
and mozilla, I'll take mozilla.

Cheers,
Steven
