I rebooted this morning, and it didn't work, notwithstanding the
output of grep, which does suggest that it should have. I just ran the
following: 

tyler:~-> cat /etc/console-tools/remap
# This sed script is run across the dumpkeys output to remap keys on the console

# This turns caps lock into control
s/keycode  58 = Shift_Lock/keycode  58 = Alt/;

tyler:~-> dumpkeys | grep " 58"
keycode  58 = Shift_Lock      
tyler:~-> 

So whatever happens in the files you had me grep, it's not modifying
the keymap...
