Hi, all.  I'm finally annoyed enough by the 'a' chars generated by the caps
lock key on power computing keyboards under X to try to fix it.  In the
process, maybe it will be useful enough to actually swap it to be the control
key (as any good keyboard should be :-).

Didn't a patch from Fred Bacon get into on of the DR2 updates to take
care of this? I forget how it worked around this problem, but I can
did it up if you can't find it.

I didn't remember who committed it, but yeah, it's been in there for...
ever....  IIRC, some keyboards generate just two key downs for caps lock,
once per press, while those generate a key up.  I may be remembering
wrong, though.  It's something weird like that.
