	the current kbd.c handles ctrl-key in a bit straight forward 
	way, which causes problems if you load for example a cyrillic
	keymap: ctrl-whatever remaps in unexpected ways.

	i changed ctrl-mappings to be modifiable in the same way
	as others (altgr, shift, none) and leave it to your
	consideration whether this is important enough. western
	keyboarders sure like having the ctrl implicitly correct.

This was getting pretty close to the noise for me but he was right.
Masking a bit out of the middle of a rune because you hit Ctrl was
a somewhat scarey.

the 4th Ed port credit should go to:

    Aki M Nyrhinen <anyrhine@cs.helsinki.fi>

it's a hard problem.  although having said that, constructing
the right namespace in the right place may avoid extra
code, but i am not sure.

andrey, aki and i have been hacking away at each other.
