    [...multi-user reasons...]

Likewise, but for a different reason.  When I build a new version
(personal use only), I whip through the userdefs.h file, ignoring
everything that "can be overridden" elsewhere.  That way I don't have to
worry about changing a lot of the defaults.  I still do a side-by-side
comparison of my old lynx.cfg with the new one to check for changes, but
those are rare, and I can usually just re-use the old lynx.cfg as is.

It may not be the most efficient way, but, at least subjectively, it
seems a lot faster.
