I'm not sure but I think that this does not encompass all of the
Windows functionality. [time passes] Ah, for example there is the
variable w32-lwindow-modifier. If this is nil, the key is not a
modifier but seen by Emacs as <lwindow>. Else, the key can be seen
by Emacs as any of alt, hyper, meta, super, control, shift.
But the platform-independent mechanism (at least the one I'm thinking
of) would only transform A-x (for some modifier A and some other key
x) into H-x (for some other modifier H and the same key x).
So the closest we could get with the platform-independent mechanism
is to choose some modifier for the <lwindow> key and to have a
boolean variable which chooses whether <lwindow> is seen as that
modifier or as a normal key.
But this looses functionality.
Thoughts?
