On Win7, as far as it is visible from MSKLC, Spanish and Croatian
keyboards define the ISO key identically:
   Base	  → <
   Shift  → >
   Ctrl	  → FS=^\

There is no special binding for any other key (including any Alt).
Both keyboards look as having the bit KLLF_ALTGR (sp?) defined (but
probably MSKLC would lie about this!).

P.S.

What confuses me is
  with US keyb. AltGr-< gives: 'Ç' char. , and nothing with AltGr->.

This is not how US keyboard should behave; it does not define any
AltGr bindings!  I even checked “US International”, and while it has
SOME AltGr bindings, it has none on the ISO key.
