2.8.7dev.4 & lss

I've just upgraded to 2.8.7-d4 & found myself confronted
by ugly colors,
which I traced to  /usr/local/etc/lynx.lss .
Simply renaming the file caused Lynx to refuse to start:
apparently, it expects to find something there.
There is a configure option  --with-lss-file{=path} ,
but no  '--without'  alternative is mentioned in the  --help
 listing
(unlike the 'enable/disable' pairs).
Creating an empty  lynx.lss  with just a comment line solved
the problem.
What is the recommended method for those who don't like the
default colors
& don't want to learn how to write  .lss  files ?

I run Lynx in a Konsole on KDE 3.5.5 on Gentoo Linux.

this works:

	lynx --with-lss=''

also see COLOR_STYLE in lynx.cfg
