So you are saying that your version of links2 doesn't
run in X, doesn't have mouse support, doesn't do 
javascript, and requires sizable dependencies -- 
but is only *slightly* smaller than the BL3 links2
package (which runs in X, has mouse support, does
some javascript and has no extra dependencies).
The latest version of links2 must have a lot of
unnecessary stuff in it.

IIRC I didn't change anything for the links2 package.
On the other hand, I stripped out a lot of unnecessary
stuff from the links-0.95 in BL3.
