Well, here's one that I use which does the right thing for Emacs (and
has that key with the arrow on it generating delete like God, erm, RMS
intended)... The automatic selection mechanism should, of course,
also allow national keyboards to be selected.
Considering how trivial this modification is to do mechanically (but
took me half an hour to write by hand), perhaps there should be a
`kbdcontrol -emacs' option to do the right thing automatically (and
set the TTY erase character correctly as well).
