The original Netscape source doesn't include Java, and requires Motif.

The new Mozilla project is allegedly coming along well and usually builds.
It's a lot to build, and it's a development browser - meaning it's little more
than a rendering engine at this point.

If someone could advise on the best way of getting old aout X libraries onto
an ELF system, I'd like to hear it.  I'm currently browsing with grail, which
isn't too bad.  I like that it handles my existing Netscape bookmarks,
actually.
