Excellent news. I've worked a bit on powerbook keyboard issues. I now
have a french keymap that works properly with Option beeing ISO shift 3
and Command beeing Meta. I need to do some serious cleanup though, adapt
to the other keymap layouts, and make a few more options to allow people
to invert alt/command or use the right key instead of the left ones for
kbs that can deal with it, but at least I have the basis working.

I don't know if I'll be able to submit anything before I'm back from
vacation though.

Ben.
