It just broke on OS/390:

    ERROR CBC3275 ../../lynx2-8-2/src/LYKeymap.h:145
        Unexpected text ',' encountered.
    FSUM3065 The COMPILE step ended with return code 12.
    FSUM3017 Could not compile ../../lynx2-8-2/src/LYMap.c.
        Correct the errors and try again.
    gmake[1]: *** [LYMap.o] Error 3

Bummer.  It's a comma between the enumerator-list and the "}".
ANSI seems not to allow this.  Sure makes ending an enumerator-list
inside an ifdef a pain.  Since the list unconditionally begins with
LYK_UNKNOWN, the problem could be solved by writing all subsequent
entries with the comma in front of the enumerator.  Ugly.  But should
I try a patch?
