You misunderstand the purpose of Lennart's patch. The ability to rebind 
the windows and alt keys on w32 is already there, and has been since 
about 1996.  Lennart's patch allows the user to forcibly reclaim keys 
that are being used for system wide functions, in a way that works for 
all keys (we already have a function that can reclaim some of those, but 
not Alt-Tab or some of the Windows key bindings).  Lennart's patch is 
useful for users who continue to use the default of Alt bound to Meta as 
well as users who would prefer to move meta to one or both windows keys.
