OK, got it now:
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb $ setxkbmap -v 10 -rules xfree86 -model pc101 -layout pc -symbols "us(pc101)+us_intl+altwin(meta_win)" -variant us_intl -option "altwin:meta_win"
Setting verbose level to 10
locale is C

Applied rules from xfree86:

variant: us_intl

Trying to build keymap using the following components:
keycodes: xfree86
types: complete
compat: complete
symbols: us(pc101)+us_intl+altwin(meta_win)
geometry: pc(pc101)
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb $
Now, what would be the canonical place to insert this command?
I guess I could put into my .Xsession or something, but ideally there
would be a configuration file for :1...

Just to clarify, I understand the XFree 4.3 debs are about to
be unleashed on unstable? I couldn't find them in experimental or in
Branden's repository...
