Subject: HEADS UP: Keymap file reorganization

Precedence: bulk

There will be a bit of reorganization in share/syscons/keymaps
in  -current. It will be done in two stages:

Stage 1: Correct inconsistency among keymap files and fixe minor gliches

- Define CTL-ALT-ESC as the `debug' key sequence in all keymaps.  (FAQ
mentions this key sequence.)  Some keymaps already have it, the others
don't. It is NOP if the kernel isn't compiled with the kernel
debugger.

- Define CTL-SPACE to generate NUL. Again only some keymaps have this.

- Define CTL-ALT-SPACE as the `suspend' key sequence in all but
Russiun keymaps. (Some keymaps had typo: numerical value 135 is
written instead of the `suspend' keyword.) This sequecne will be NOP
if the apm driver is not installed or disabled.

- Fix Japanese keymaps. 

- Remove accent (dead) key definitions from spanish.iso.kbd,
fr.iso.kbd and icelandic.iso.kbd.  Create spanish.iso.acc.kbd,
fr.iso.acc.kbd and icelandic.iso.acc.kbd with accent key definitions
instead.

- Update INDEX.kbdmap for kbdmap(1).

- Update keymap menus in release/sysinstall.

[At this point, I intend to merge dead key support (in syscons and
kbdcontrol) and modified keymap files from the -current to the -stable
branch.]

Stage 2: ALL keymap files will be renamed so that they conform to more
canonical naming convention

The new name will look
	<lang>_<area>.<char_set>[.<option>][.acc].kbd

For compatibility reasons, there will be symlinks between the new and
old file names.

INDEX.kbdmap and sysinstall menus will be updated too.
