 Yes, several ASSUMED_ ... _CHOICE are allowed. This approach simplifies
parsing (so now I rely on parsing by LYReadCFG.c) and allows choices to be
added in the INCLUDEd files.
 This won't work with reload_.. (I mean all new changes to lynx.cfg will be
lost) - but this is easy to fix. Currently new changes will be ignored (the
info will be gathered, but final routine won't be called).
 I will fix it in the end of August (Now I have only hyphenation on my TODO
list).

 We can advice including them in the lynx.cfg comment, rather then including
them implicitly.
