------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
There is some backwards incompatibility introduced with the old prefs file 
keybinding format with this patch.  For instance, under the default 
keybindings, the space bar is used, which used to be represented with " ", and 
is now represented with "space".  The function keys used to be lowercase ("f1") 
and are now capitalized ("F1").  This affects two default keybindings -- "help" 
and "end unit turn".

The impact of this patch on such keybindings will be to move now-unrecognized 
keybindings to "unknown key".  As Wesnoth is currently pre-1.0, I considered 
this behavior acceptable -- however, backwards compatibility code could be 
added pretty trivially.

Summary:  Allow hotkeys bound to oddball keys

Original Submission:  Currently, if one sets up a hotkey bound to the return 
key or the enter key or similar keys, Wesnoth dumps a control character into 
the prefs file, since the character value is stored as a raw value.  The 
Wesnoth config file parser cannot handle this.  This patch makes Wesnoth use 
the SDL name of the key in the preference file (also making the prefs file more 
readable).
