Thanks!  Could you eliminate a cl macro in it?  Normally the use
of cl macros is ok, but they have to be expanded at the compile
time since emacs-w3m never uses cl at run-time, like the rest.
However, macros will not be expanded in defcustom forms, except
for the recent XEmacs 21.5.  So, an alist value for
`browse-url-browser-function' will cause the `(void-function loop)'
error.

In addition, please provide a chengelog entry by yourself.
