LYNX-DEV nit about agent string

Here's a small nit but a nit nonetheless...
Sometime in the past few weeks fotemods has been changed to
prepend "Lynx/" to the version string to form the agent string.
(Previous versions just assumed Lynx was in the version string.)

This means if I want to change the agent string to
        Mozilla/3.01 (X11; U; compatible lynx2-7-1f_8/16/97) ...
(or whatever) I can't do this by simply changing the
version string in userdefs.h.  I have to either edit other source files
or change the agent string in the options menu every time I run lynx.

Is there a reason for this change?  Are you trying to discourage
editing the agent string?  (This is the only way to get into some sites.)
Just wondering.
