Well, actually, there are so many ways that options can be specified I
suspect that the most useful report will need to actually report what
is being used during a particular run - perhaps as a part of the -trace
output!

Currently lynx gets info from at least the following:

1. defaults in the code
2. userdefs.h
3. configuration time flags
4. site lynx.cfg
5. user's lynx.cfg
6. user's .lynxrc
7. environment variables
8. run time setting via options form menu
9. command line

Other info of use to report would be

Operating System and hardware versions
Compiler version
library versions
