LYNX-DEV -DNO_KEYPAD and Linux

In the near future I'd like to submit the patch for mouse support
under ncurses; current ncurses snapshots support using the mouse on
the Linux console, in addition to xterms.  Before I can do that,
there's one issue that needs resolving.  The linux-ncurses target in
the Makefile has -DNO_KEYPAD defined; the effect of this is to #ifdef
out a switch which handles keypad-mode keys like KEY_DOWN or KEY_END.
It would be preferable to put the KEY_MOUSE case in this second switch
statement, and ncurses does support these keys.

        Removing the definition and recompiling produces a Lynx binary
that seems to run fine.  So, does anyone know why -DNO_KEYPAD is there
for Linux?
