I've put :
keycode 58 = Caps_Lock
control keycode 58 = Compose
in /etc/kbd/default.map.gz (there's surely a more clever place but I didn't
care) and now CTRL-CapsLock is a compose key in the console (not X). I think
that on an us keyboard CTRL-. is already configured to be the Compose key,
make a try.
If you know the scancode of the winblows keys you should assign them
something useful in the same way (only 102 keys here so I can't test)
