This has nothing to do with fixing the statusline problem or
MOUSE_KEY. Klaus had written questioning what all the ifdef's were
doing in the keymap[] code. This is an effort to CLARIFY what was done
before. I never understood what the MOUSE_KEY code was doing. Mouse
isn't enabled on any system that I use, so I wasn't able to test any
of it.

Your patch to LYKeymap.c will break the default mappings for DOS and
Windows.

I don't know what  the best fix is, but inserting LYK_MOUSE_KEY here
will invalidate the mappings after it. Can't you put it at an unused
spot, such as 0x28f?
