[Lynx-dev] altering connect time-out value

[purslow]

when it can't connect to a link, Lynx 2.8.6dev.4 times out after  23 sec .
in  lynx.cfg , there is a section : 

  .h2 CONNECT_TIMEOUT
  # Specifies (in seconds) connect timeout. Default value is rather huge.
  #CONNECT_TIMEOUT:18000
  CONNECT_TIMEOUT:300

the final line is my experiment, which makes no difference to behaviour,
even after a reboot.  how can i make Lynx wait longer when trying a link ?
i'ld like something like  5 min  (after all, you can use 'z' to disconnect).
