include:c:\lynx\mylynx.cfg : COLOR VIEWER
looks slightly better... (they should be parsed the same way).
Btw. what would
include:c:\lynx\mylynx.cfg :
mean? (a) everything disallowed (b) or everything allowed?

That makes ':' different in this new option than in all other options,
where it is never preceded by a space...

I still like it... but not to the point that I insist if nobody
agrees. This option is different from all other options though, it's
kind of a meta-option, therefore I would find this deviation ok.
Someone coming across the construct in an existing lynx.cfg can more
immediately grasp what it's about (even if comments are stripped).
Someone starting to *use* (write for) the extended functionality has
to newly learn it anyway.
Anyway, whatever you do, it should probably include the possibility
of <">quoting<">.
