without hacking up autoconf, it'll only allow us to define --with/--without
and --enable/--disable options. (I guess that's a syntax quibble, which is
why I phrased it as an option to override/supplant the --prefix option
that implies it would use the local filesystem).

But how does this fit with Scott's goal of not modifying the lynx.cfg
file during install?
