What exactly is is that bash prevents you from doing?  And does it work
with other Bourne-like shells?

By the way, should there also be an "install-help" makefile target for
installing the files in the lynx_help/ and about_lynx/ directories?
Ideally this should put the files in the same place pointed to by the
lynx.cfg file.

If yes, it should be a separate target, since sites may have their own
modified help files.  So some explicit action (more than "make install")
should be required, but "make" or "make install" could suggest to do
"make install-help" after finishing.
