It is reasonable to include generated *.html files into the 2.8.2
distribution (like we have with gettext' lynx.pot) and leave portability
and maintenance for 2.8.3 development. At least we got a very useful
resource (hmm, make install-cfghelp ?) and set a starting point for future
resync body.in with lynx.cfg. See also Vlad's letter below.
