i fail to see what this is useful for. i consider it bad coding practise to
change the actual scancode since it is unique to each key. IMHO determining
whether or not num lock is pressed and act on arrow keys from the numerical
keyboard, should be up to the programmer himself.

there are no standard, however patches to allegro should preferrably be
context sensitive or unified. personally i make patches like this:
diff -urN old new > changes.diff
