Hi,
Thanks for taking a whack at this. I took a look at the diffs and only had
a few comments:
1. Do you have any suggestions about how your approach should scale for use
in other non-Latin-1 languages? I got the impression that your changes --
especially the mods to NVK processing in ev_UnixKeyboard.cpp -- might only
help for the Latin-2 subset you need for cz-CZ, but I couldn't tell for
sure. A few more comments here might be useful.
I think Henrik is die back any day now, so the two of you may want to put
your heads together to see if you can figure out a more scalable mechanism,
perhaps using iconv:

Since this is platform-specific code, I'm guessing that you should be able
to make a system call to detect which charset mapping is needed.
2. Are these changes against a known version of the tree, perhaps 0.7.8?
It looks like on the wp/ap/xp side, you're missing some stuff from the
latest CVS version. No biggie, but current patches are the easiest to
apply.
Thanks again,
Paul
