links2ssl for BL3 won't work in console mode in BL2 - wants the BL3 
(libc5) libX11.

A links2 I compiled with ssl support does work in console mode in BL2 (for 
root or user, does SSL negotiation), but it has lots of dependencies 
including svgalib, libjpeg, glibc 2.2.5 and I made the changes required to 
run BL2 as user.  It does not use libX11.

links123 (a different strain of links without any graphical mode, a 
version which Steven compiled with ssl support) works for me in BL3 to 
access a site requiring SSL - my library https site aadl.org/myaccount. 
As root or user.  I think I used to use yahoo email with a text browser.
Try that instead until we can get links2 to work for user.

Chrooted to BL3.5, jwm is not working for me as user (an account that I 
just made).  Configuration errors on exit.  I don't get a menu (Alt-F1 or 
clicking), and I see one red and three black squares at the lower left 
rather than the expected one black and one grey.  I will try booted 
directly to BL3.
