the only thing that I'm noting here is that the userdefs.h codes the location
as /usr/local/lib/lynx.cfg (so that's on my list - it doesn't inherit from
the configure script's sense of --prefix).
(but I agree - it doesn't make sense to make everything an option in the
configure script: the important things are those that make it simpler to
build)
