Lynx Wheels

As long as we're on the subject, one thing I've always wondered: why are the Lynx rear wheels aligned "toe-out"?

I assume it makes for more stable shipboard ops...no sliding on deck etc.

But what about ground handling? Is there a pilot-activated electrical / mechanical device to re-align the wheels straight-parallel for ground taxi, etc?
