hmm - I should have made the scripting for picking up customizations look 
there.  I hadn't noticed, since I modified my configure options for lynx
to keep the files in the same location, e.g.,

        configure --sysconfdir=/usr/local/lib --datadir=/usr/local/lib

I expect most packagers will do something equivalent...
