[PATCH 0/8] Bring console-driver-xkb up to date

[Diego Nieto Cid]

Dear list,

   The past couple of weeks I've been packaging Marco's input driver
for Arch Hurd and I've found that some changes were necesary to make
it work again.

   The patch series this message introduces is based on the Debian
source code (after applying patches) for version 0.008-7 of the
package.

   Only the first patch is strictly necesary to be able to run the
input driver again [*]. The rest of them are bug fixes which were
affecting infrequently reached lines of code and other improvements.

   Patch number 5 copies some files from the hurd tree. I didn't
record the date, but they should be at least from the commit
80f1aefacad4e898434962acb1f1af62eb815ef8. Which misses a few recent
changes to the console-client. I don't know if this is required but
as I saw some shared header files, I thought it was a sensible thing
to update them. It may break things on older hurd builds, though.

   BTW, I don't like this source code duplication. When I saw that
most of the input driver is the same as pc_kbd it came to mind this
should actually be a libxkb used by pc_kbd. But I wanted to have
something working first. :)

   I'm not sure about patch number 3. There is a comment saying
something is dead code, aparently related to virtual modifiers.
Fixed them just in case, though.

   This mail is quite long, so thanks for having read it :)
   Regards,
        Diego
