Unless you're running lynx in screen or some script or other, you're
probably wise to have cfg= on the command line.

Until such time as there is an interactive dependency script developed,
e.g. along the lines of the perl install, editing of userdefs.h is
going to have to continue.  Configure can't possibly guess where
someone wants lynx.cfg, startfile, helpfile, jumpfile, index, etc.
etc. to be.  I have them everywhere and anywhere, and not the same
for any of the three machines I deal with.

I wouldn't want this changing each time either because it chokes my
semi-automated install scripts (lots of cd's and mv's and patch
directives).
