It would have to be "something similar": non-Unix configurations wouldn't 
benefit by "."
but generally use some conventional directory e.g., under Application Data in 
Windows.

Unix configurations might use something like $HOME/.lynx; it is easy enough for
users to setup.  Changing the place where lynx looks for it is problematic.

The location of the bookmarks file in lynx.cfg is a default.

It is overridden by the setting (saved in ~/.lynxrc) for "Bookmarks file".
If you happen to have "Multi-bookmarks" set, you can still see this setting
by temporarily turning "multi-bookmarks" off.

(my corresponding setting is "./.lynx/default.html" - which is relative to 
$HOME).
