Beware that this binary is _huge_. It can be "strip"ped to a
reasonable size, if you don't want to debug it.

I have made a "regular" binary package of dillo, built against the
latest png (png version numbering and downwards-compatibility is
horrible), there is a problem with the above-mentioned dillo binary
when you have a too new version of png installed. Even symlinking old
library versions won't work.

My dillo package is available at:

  http://people.freenet.de/nuxi/dillo-0.6.4nb1.tgz

Here are the exact dependencies:
  dillo-0.6.4nb1 requires installed package gettext-lib-0.10.35nb1
  dillo-0.6.4nb1 requires installed package glib-1.2.10
  dillo-0.6.4nb1 requires installed package gtk+-1.2.10
  dillo-0.6.4nb1 requires installed package jpeg-6b
  dillo-0.6.4nb1 requires installed package png-1.2.1
  dillo-0.6.4nb1 requires installed package pth-1.4.0

I'd recommend installing gtk from a binary package, it's available at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.5/hpcmips/x11/gtk+-1.2.10.tgz ,
since gtk needs perl (about 40MB installed) to build, but not to run.

Have fun. Although dillo does not display frame, and does not handle
JavaScript or Cookies (which I consider a feature rather than a
short-coming), I highly recommend it. It uses small fonts, is fast and
runs very well with only 16 MB.

I also routinely delete all my man pages on the z50. Programs I
install there I usually know how to use. Can free up several MB, and
I also reduce the reserved space on the filesystems to, say, 2%
(tunefs -m 2 -o space /dev/rwd0a). You must do this in single-user
mode and the filesystem being tuned must not be mounted rw. Reboot
after using tunefs.
