[SDL] Hardware buttons on pocket pc

[Phoenix Kokido]

IIRC it returns different keycodes/keysyms than SDL has those keys
mapped too.  The code that was in SDL last year when I made those
changes sent SDL_KEYDOWN events with no keysyms whatever, I focused on
fixing that first, but my dev system went down before I could fix the
mapping, and I never got around to reinstalling the Embedded Tools
again.  I tested the key modifiers before using the soft keyboard. 
For now, after the the patch to SDL_Sysevents.c is made, the only way
to read the hardware keys is to check the keysyms with the one you
want for your button.  I'll try to address it better tomorow when I
have access to my dev system and my ipaq is back in it's cradle.

I have no special abilities to patch CVS.  We just prepare a diff and
send it to either Sam directly or to the mailing list, depending on
the size of the patch.
