If you need this in your environment feel free to use it, but given that
xmodmap is deprecated, is not necessary in most cases, and it's easy to
add such script if you really want it, and considering that there's been
a few bugs in X where xmodmap settings at session startup messed up the
keymap, I don't think we should add this.  Closing.
