I have now committed something which does this. There are new
variables x-{alt,hyper,meta,super}-keysym. Allowed values are the
symbols alt, hyper, meta, and super. So to switch the alt and meta
keys, one can do:
(setq x-alt-keysym 'meta)
(setq x-meta-keysym 'alt)
There might be unexpected side effects with the "use alt as meta if
there is no meta key" mechanism that's already in Emacs: If you (setq
x-alt-keysym 'meta) but the kbd doesn't have a meta key, then Emacs
will use the alt keys for the alt keysym.
