While even thinking about this still hurst, it be worth it making an
note on our billion item todo list that a solution to this might be
to implement a proper generalization of the Mandrake patch.
i.e. some form of keyboard-modifier-translation-table.
Then Mandrake would only need a setting in their default site-start.el

And, even better, their users could break the legs of that setting
without feeling the urge to rip the bastards open and spill their
entrails whilst howling in the moonlight.

Wishful thinking; these are the same guys who made color-gcc the default.
There's plenty to howl about in that distro.

Really? I don't recall ever requesting it (just did a standard developer install), yet
that's what runs as gcc on my system. I'm not complaining, since I rather like it,
but that pretty much qualifies as 'default' in my book.
