You could even hack /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/us, the "pc104"
section, and define:

    key <LALT> {        [       Meta_L           ]       };
    key <RALT> {        [       Meta_R           ]       };
    key <LWIN> {        [       Meta_L           ]       };
    key <RWIN> {        [       Meta_R           ]       };
    key <CAPS> {        [       Control_L        ]       };

I haven't actually tried this, so YMMV.
