gotten from the OS. I already know that we can detect  keypresses. I am
working on the tuxtype typing tutor, in which the keymap details were put
into a file named keyboard.lst
The format of the file is
Finger|Keypress

It would be nice if we could remove that file and directly import the keymap
from the OS. I saw an idea for this year's Google SOC regarding this. SO I
would like to know if there is any feature in SDL to implement this.
