If there is a need for a special mac keymap, then there is something
completely rotten.

As far as people told me, there were only problems with Escape, Apple,
and keys outside of ASCII (code>127). The first two problems are fixed
(hopefully) by the attached patch. The other keys are more of a problem: I
believe that this is a bug in SDL: AFAIK in
src/video/maccommon/SDL_macevents.c, at the end of Mac_InitOSKeymap(), the
if after the comment about non-ASCII, should be replaced by the command in
the else branch: "MAC_keymap[i] = value;", i.e. not treat the non-ASCII
case specially.

I would very much like to know if anybody has success with that.

Ciao,
