It is apparently possible to connect other keyboard types to a PC, typically
via serial. The only such adapter I have is
ps2-to-serial, so I can't test this very well yet.
Nevertheless, its so esoteric that anyone with such wierd
hardware can supply the udeb for themselves (it would require
recompiling kbd-chooser anyway), so drop them from the CD.
