Ok, I've been convinced that this is the better scheme than
the one based on locale names, which I used to prefer.

And if fact, I've only needed one "complex" name: "ch-fr"
(I chose "ch" instead of "ch-de", since that is the typical
layout used in Switzerland - I've yet to see a Swiss-French
keyboard in an actual system ...).

Quite a number of keymaps are still waiting to be verified
and committed. Many are derived from different encodings that
should lead to the same Unicode characters, in an ideal world.

I've spent all day on writing the converter scripts (for the
INDEX.keymaps file and for the keymaps) and verified as many
results as I could, but there's still a lot of work left ...

Best regards, STefan
