True, X too.. but there keyboard handling is seriously broken (and
always was), so I wouldn't mention it :) OSX and linux console ignore
the key mapping completely. Once me or Peter gets around to write a new
driver for X doing the same, X will be like that too. And eventually we
need to adjust the windows driver to bypass keyboard mapping as well to
finally have platform independent keyboard support in Allegro, like SDL.
