I'm all for it.  Especially if it'll appear in the default Plan 9
distribution on sources, and make it easier for people unfamiliar with
compiling Plan 9 kernels to start using.

Do you have a way of dynamically adding (switching) keyboard support,
or do you have all the keyboard maps compiled in the user-level
program?  Say I wanted to switch from Bulgarian to Spanish keyboards,
do I need to have both compiled in beforehand?
