Feel free to send in patch

No idea. Frankly I did not ever look into winkeymap.h
Karra wrote it initially.  It worked on the US Keyboard
and my priorities that time were getting rest of the XF86
code ported to Cygwin.  I never studied it.  If you or anyone
can do a better job, then patches are welcomed.  Peter is working
on adding keyboard, mouse and monitor keyboard added xf_dx.dll,
which should get the settings from Windows control Panel.
Right now he is very busy.  He e-mailed me today that might be at least
a month or more before he could send me modified code, but fi some else
wants to work on it, we will wolcome those patches too.
