lynx-dev Getting the distribution W32 lynx to use viewers easily

Using the distribution Windows 32 lynx involves setting up a Dos-style
directory structure, with things like mv.exe, sendmail.exe, etc., in
the same directory as lynx.exe.  The README tells us to put viewers on
the PATH, which is a cumbersome nuisance in many cases.

The simpler approach is to make .bat files with the names of the viewers
in lynx.cfg and put them in the lynx directory along with mv.exe, etc.:

So, for Acrobat reader, the batch file is AcroRd32.bat, with the command
line

c:\viewers\AcroRd32 %1

And this works with ease.
