I agree it's not a logical place. I also don't know a better one.

I find your three points convincing (until someone comes up with a
better idea). But maybe there should be a link to it on the 'O'ptions
menu, too.

No, not just for DOS/WINDOWS ports. It depends on configuration (compile
time and runtime).
For example try
-restrictions=compileopts_info -> "your lynx.cfg" link on 'I'nfo page
-restrictions=compileopts_info,lynxcfg_info -> no extra link at all
(or just -anonymous)
(assuming ./configure without --disable-config-info)
