Ok -- by popular demand, I've changed both the compilation defaults and
lynx.cfg.  The diffs are below.  Note that lynx.cfg not only contains
the new comp defaults, but a description of the integer values.
(Since no one else seems to have a strong preference of default colors, I'm
simply using the ones that I find easy to see.  And if someone doesn't like
these settings, at least they're better than the old defaults...:)

Now if these could just get into the options menu...:)

PS: Oh, and one other thing: The comment in lynx.cfg claims
    that -color is supported only when compiled with SVR4 curses or slang.
    But in LYMain.c, -color and -blink are ifdef'd USE_SLANG only.
    Is this right?
