Totally agree with this.  In the past, I've offered my target for doing
this in the hopes that someone more savvy could polish it up:
full-install:
        install -c -m 555 lynx $(exec)/lynx
        install -c -m 444 lynx.man $(exec)/lynx.1
        mv about_lynx/* lynx_help/
        mv docs/* lynx_help/
        tar cf - lynx_help >> $(exec)/lynx_help.tar
        cp $(exec)/lynx_help/lynx_help_main.html $(exec)/
        rm -r $(exec)/lynx_help
        cd $(exec); tar xf lynx_help.tar
        rm $(exec)/lynx_help.tar
        cp $(exec)/lynx_help_main.html $(exec)/lynx_help/

An explanation that the HELPFILE variable must be set in lynx.cfg would
have to be added into lynx.cfg and INSTALLATION.  Of course, if about_lynx
and docs could be done away with, you wouldn't need the mv stuff :-)
