Trying to build Lynx with zlib 1.2.5.1 results in build errors, due
to the 'ON' macro of zlib, which conflicts with the one in
LYUtils.h. Here's a bug report about it on Gentoo's tracker:
Weird. There's a 1.2.5.1? The zlib website indicates the latest as
1.2.5.
It's a beta:

A patch that fixes the problem by renaming Lynx's ON and OFF macros
to LON and LOFF:
It would be nice if C had qualified identifiers, a la modern dialects of
Pascal.
In any event, a generic identifier like ON in a header file of a library
is kind of a brain damaged idea to begin with.
