Re: LYNX-DEV source size, source reorganization

[Nelson Henry Eric]

*For starters*, the appended operations could be performed on the top level
directory, and the necessary patches (based on lynx2.7.1ac-0.60) applied.
"README.configure" could easily be incorporated into "INSTALLATION", perhaps
even "README.win-386".  Eventually, I would like to see "lynx_help" renamed
"help".  I also would like to see the VMS-specific files moved to a "VMS"
directory, but I am not qualified to even suggest that.  The lynx-dev
community should comment on this simplification; otherwise just let it be.
