[xkb] Re: new layout

[Alan Coopersmith]

Would you like to start checking the changes into the Xorg monolothic
tree yourself then?   If you're willing to do the work of sync'ing it
up with your xkeyboard-config tree, I'm sure we could work that out
without much trouble.

As far as I know the only reason no one is updating the Xorg xkb data
files is because no one has volunteered to take that on.
