   My understanding is sometime after 0.16.1 autotools derived build has   
   been silently left behind.  It's all meson now (hint: debian and ports   
   (that BSD thing) successfully build 0.17.* with meson(!);  while gentoo   
   is stuck with autotools and 0.16.*).   
      
   After some deliberation I've chose not giving a fsck (I've checked   
   changelog -- nothing worth effort comparing with 0.16.*) and wait till   
   someone brighter would fix this (*SlackBuild).   After all, elinks might   
   be dead again (3rd time?  I'm certainly missing something here).
