* modify prompt for file- or directory-name in rename/move operation to provide
  a default based on the selected file/directory -TD
* add -DOK_OVERRIDE to makefile.msc, to allow rename/move of files in the local
  directory editor -TD
* correct delay time for win32's HTAlert, etc., which was in milliseconds
  rather than seconds -TD
* modify check for mbstate_t in CF_WIDEC_CURSES to define HAVE_MBSTATE_T if
  that type is found, use this ifdef in LYwaddnstr() to make that compile
  properly on Solaris 2.6 (report by PG) -TD
* disable SUPPORT_MULTIBYTE_EDIT ifdef for EBCDIC (i.e., NOT_ASCII) -PG
* collect names of lynx.cfg and .lynxrc variables into LYrcFile.h, to simplify
  checks for matching spelling, e.g., against the values used in LYOptions.c
* modify dired support to allow sorting by a variety of things in addition to
  the existing sort into files versus directories.  This is saved in ~/lynxrc
  as dir_sort_order -TD
* if --disable-full-paths is specified, do not use full path for SYSTEM_MAIL
  (report by IZ) -TD
* modify configure script to reduce the number of xxx_PATH definitions compiled
  into the code if --disable-dired was specified.  Change configure script so
  that dired support for chmod, copy, mkdir, and touch to use built-in
  functions rather than external programs -TD
* modify configure script tests for program pathnames so that if full pathnames
  are specified and the program is not found, no corresponding xxx_PATH symbol
  is defined -TD
* eliminate duplicate LYGetEnum() in LYrcFile.c, using the variant from
  LYReadCFG.c which allows abbreviations -TD
* change handling of tagsoup option in LYrcFile.c to invoke the corresponding
  HTSwitchDTD() function, so saved tagsoup initializes properly from ~/.lynxrc
  (report by Michel Such) -TD
* modify some tag-names in LYOptions.c to correspond to the names used in
  lynx.cfg to make the corresponding names work properly when used in ~/.lynxrc
  via ENABLE_LYNXRC settings (report by Michel Such) -TD

    ----------------------------
    assume_char_set -> assume_charset
    show_scrollbar  -> scrollbar

    show_rate       -> show_kb_rate
    user_agent      -> useragent
    ----------------------------
* correct length passed by LYpaddstr() to LYwaddnstr(), which could be larger
  than allowed -TD
