I fetched the given URL and changed the patch-aa
w3m and w3m-ssl seem to build without problem now.
A quick test run showed no problem.

How sould we solve this?
Two diffrent ports of the library?

I can see the benefit of having both memory-systems around.
-> PR to mainter w3m/w3m-ssl ?
Can the program be easyly changed to work with the option?

kind regards Dirk

I am going to revert the change I made to patch-aa until a better
solution can be found.
