Looking at the above more closely, I see it apparently failed when
trying to install OpenSSL.  I don't think it should have, anyway, because
OpenSSL has alway been present, but somehow it is not in the 
InstalledPackages list.  [It is now -- manually...]  (In fact everything
but libmng was already present, but not in the list either.)  I can't really
trace what might have happened.  It looks as if there's a correct filename
for the package, so where it got the "..." I can't figure.

Anyway, it looked as if NetSurf should in fact have been fully installed,
and when I tried it, it worked.  The first time.  Unfortunately any later
attempts fail with "An unexpected error occurred".  It seems that it
creates "URLs" and "Cookies" files in the 'res' folder, and if these
exist it fails.  So sadly it's a bit useless at the moment.
