Thank you, it is meant to be that way :) (If you don't have wget, it will
use lynx. If you don't have either, it just tells you the url). Any ideas
for further improving the script would be greatly appreciated.

The WorldForge build system will soon be *cough* themeable :) However it
is only optional, for people who get a kick out of bizarrely colored
configure scripts...

$ ./configure --enable-theme=dark-metal

Any other project wishing to use the WorldForge acinclude.m4 for their own
build system is encouraged; there are examples of its use scattered
through the WorldForge cvs. Any patches to it, also, would be gratefully
accepted :)
