Re: LYNX-DEV new release?

Two items I've wanted to help with in the last two releases, but never
had the time -- still don't --, was reorganizing the top level directory
and putting the anonymous-specific defines in userdefs.h into their own
include file.

As for reorganizing the top level directory I could send the script
I use to mv things from about_lynx to help (renamed from lynx_help),
rm -r about_lynx, rm some stuff in docs and mv old CHANGES, *.announce,
etc. there, rm -r util/inews, and some other minor simplifications, but
it seems so trivial.  I could do the diff for lynx_help_main.html.
Let me know.

I don't know the correct way to move the anonymous stuff out, but if
you like what I've done then FWIW I append "anondefs.h" and diff -c
against userdefs.h (lynx2-7-1 + fotemods[97-07-04].
