[ros-kernel] keyboard dlls idea

[Jonathan Wilson]

Why not write something that sits in under the hood somewhere and that can 
capture scan-codes directly.
Then, write an application such that you push a button with the mouse, then 
press a key twice (once to get the scan-code from the low-level thingo then 
once to get the VK_xxx keycode) then type a description and it would store 
the scan-code from the keyboard plus the VK_xxx windows returns for it plus 
the description into a data file for later conversion into a kbdxxx.dll
This way, anyone with a particular multi-national keyboard and kbdxxx.dll 
file can provide the info to make that dll for ReactOS simply by pressing 
all the keys on their keyboard. (and the info is obtained in a way that 
doesnt violate any copyright)

I suspect that the low-level bit would need to be a kernel driver of some 
kind but I dont know what nor do I have the skills to code such a thing.
