I added some initial support for keyboard remapping to xorg-server-1.2- apple. You can check it out here: http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=61b6dad5ef0f75051ed67691b041648ec7dcaff7;hp=f6a4c10636268669c889c05bae52a2f8579e7b80

I removed the darwinSwapAltMeta option since this pretty much supersedes it. I don't have much experience dealing with ObjC or with reading configuration information from NSDefaults, so if someone else can pick up where I left off, that'd be great. It looks like ObjC code needs to be added around line 680 in X11Application.m to read from defaults and make the appropriate calls to:

DarwinKeyboardKeySymRemapStr(const char *from, const char *to);
DarwinKeyboardModMaskRemapStr(const char *key, const char *mask);

The added functionality allows you to remap any of these keys to be called one of the others in the list: Shift_L Shift_R Caps_Lock Control_L Control_R Alt_L Alt_R Meta_L Meta_R Mode_Switch Multi_Key

Additionally, you can set which modifier key any of these get assigned to: shift lock control mod1 mod2 mod3 mod4 mod5

I also enabled DUMP_DARWIN_KEYMAP, so debug output to x11-debug.txt is spammed with the keymapping on startup.
