since i've got a freebsd system here,
i had a quick look at the freebsd syscons keyboard maps.
there are about 60 of them.  i'm sure they don't do all we need,
but i have to say they don't look onerous
to me as files (and they handle stuff like alt-ctrl-shift, which might
or might not be needed by something) but i'm not sure i'd like to compile all that
all into a kernel for (say) installation from CD.  of course, dynamic code loading
would remove the need to relink, but that's just a fancy form of
dynamically-loaded table in this context.
