[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

There is a number of X keysyms that can be remapped inside Emacs, namely
alt, hyper, meta and super.  I found it odd that control is not on the
list (and to a lesser degree, shift), so I wrote a patch to offer it as
additional remappable X keysym.  This way one can swap the control and
meta key in Emacs with `(setq x-meta-keysym 'ctrl x-ctrl-keysym 'meta)`.
