It's fine to add functionality to keys that just beep at you. But to
change the behavior I'm used to to comply with dos/windows is, ahem,
/not/ why I'm using Debian (to put it mildly). Eventually, it might
be nice to have all applications use Lars' cfgtool to set BS and DEL.
But don't even think about making a fundamental change like this the
default!
