[arch-releng] Add basic keyboard remap in syslinux menu.
Hello
What do you think about this? Is not perfect, but at least can make more people happy.
* A simple demo script that can be added to syslinux-iso profile. * Needs lilo (for keytab-lilo perl script) and kdb (for keymaps) * Some keymaps require unicode support, otherwise will fail. So maybe (if this is implemented) lilo can als provide a keymap-lilo-unicode (below is how this can be generated) * Each keymap file takes only 256 bytes. * The script is here: https://gist.github.com/714822
A much better keymap support is using gfxboot.c32, but this is another history ;)
I motivated by this feature request: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21725

To make this work done I need to split syslinux.cfg in some parts, any issues?
mkarchiso will parse all to find/replace "%XYZ%" like archiso2dual is doing in my install_dir branch.
My idea (any sugestions are very welcomed)
<common> ------------------------- <main> <Arch Linux> <chainloader> <reboot> <poweroff>
<tools> <hdt> <memtest> <memtest w/memdisk>(*) <maybe some syslinux toy...>
<keymap> <the> <list> <of> <all> <keymaps> ---------------------------
(*) some machines need this when BIOS puts more stuff than normal below 640K.
