Subject: Allegro improvement suggestion!
Mime-Version: 1.0

I have a suggestion to the Allegro library keyboard routines. Why not write
a configuration-program so that you can have keymappings for diffrent
countries keyboards. This should be really easy to do, considering the way
the keyboard-handler works. And it would greatly improve the library
according to me. 

I mean, the configurationprogram doesn't have to be fancy or easy-to-use or
anything, since it only needs to be used once for each country and then you
deliver these configurations with the library! Preferrably in a nice format
so that you don't need to distribute a whole load of files with your
programs, but maybe packed together in a nice archive. Ofcourse the
keymappings has to be able to be changed at runtime, so that you don't need
to distribute allegro with your programs so that people have to recompile
everything.
