IMO it would be good if the 'include' command had the list of settings that
can be specified in included file. So admins can specify
'include:~/.lynx/colors:COLOR'
'include:~/.lynx/keymap:KEYMAP'
'include:~/.lynx/viewers:VIEWER'
safely - and be sure that no critical options were altered by those files.
The suggested syntax is
include:<filename>[:[<OPTNAME>* ] ]
more samples:
include:~/.lynx/rc:COLOR KEYMAP VIEWER SUFFIX
include:/usr/local/lib/lynx-cfg.part: #all settings can be changed
More brave approach:
Make ~/.lynxrc to be included by lynx.cfg (it's syntax must be changed to one
of lynx.cfg), with a list of options it can contain in the 'include' line. As
I understand, with LP's patch lynx.cfg can be edited at runtime and reloaded
in the same session - such feature as editing options specified in .lynxrc
at runtime is not the major privelege (or feature) of .lynxrc. So, a huge
section of code ~32KB can be removed when using this approach.
In present state, users with paranoid sysadm were to live with colors s/he
specify.
