I think this will superceed my proxies.  Since the proxies themselves
would have to handle or access the certs, but that will be handled within
lynx code from their description, it likely will be like your SSL overlay
(or that converted to a diff).

I went to the proxies mainly to avoid having to reissue diffs every few
months.  And my proxy could be exported by simply publishing it like the
source to PGP, and it is much shorter. 

The biggest thing MIT might do to help would be to offer a "public" export
controlled site so I could simply upload my current proxies, some other
crypto code I am working on, and whatever lynx SSL additions exist.

They are welcome to modify my proxies instead of lynx proper.
