[links] Patches for Forward Functionality

A bit over a year ago, I added several features to Links and vaguely posted
them to this list:
http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/links-list/2007-April/004690.html

However, I never got around to fixing them up and submitting them for
inclusion in a sane manner, and have just been using my hacked-up version
myself for the past year.  However, between getting fed up with it crashing
a couple times a week, getting a couple personal requests for the patches
in a more useful form, and the fact that it's summer and I have free time
again, I'm looking at redoing my changes.  This time, though, I'll try to
do the the Right Way, and hopefully even get them included into the main
distribution.

As such, I have attached a set of three patches I worked up this morning
implementing forward support.  The first modifies the session history
structure and binds forward to the "x" key (next to "z", which is back);
the second adds a forward button in graphics mode next to the back button,
and the third fixes up the file->history menu.  They are available at 
http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~edanaher/links/

I hope that these are small enough and simple enough to be included; I
also tried to follow the style of existing code as much as possible, and
tried to fix up all affected code.  Of course, I don't understand all of
Links, so may have missed something, but my limited testing suggests that
it works.

Further, I intended to redo most of my modifications from last year again,
including tabs, key bindings, "open with ...", and web shortcuts (e.g.,
"wp:links" to do a wikipedia search for links), and would love it if these
could be also eventually be included.  Otherwise, I am willing to maintain
a forked version (similar to links-hacked, except hopefully more up to
date).
