OK, this looks cool.  (The conditional bit shouldn't be hard; take a
look a the BIG-REQUESTS bit.)

My understanding about XKEYBOARD is that a stylish CLX implementation
of it would hook into a few more things than just keycode->keysym.  I
have read the XKEYBOARD spec several times, and each time I seem to
forget almost instantly the details :-/
