PLEASE STOP adding all these lynx.cfg settings.  Lynx.cfg is already so
large that NO newcomer in his right mind would bother to read it, much
less try to understand or use it.  It has become so large that some
people on strict disk quotas wouldn't dare experiment with it.

I propose that from now on, all new settings to lynx.cfg should be on
a strictly ONE setting per function basis.  For example, ALL of the
psrc stuff should be controlled by one setting, PSRCVIEW.  Fine tuning
then could be done by additional parsing of arguments, e.g., PSRCVIEW:
NO_ANCHOR_NUMBERING and PSRCVIEW:NO_LINKS.

There is no excuse other than laziness and sloppiness for junk like
the HTMLSRC_* fiasco.
