Another rpund of fixes, after checking keymaps for plausibility and with several updates to the converter tools. There is now support for hybrid source keymaps, which e.g. use ISO8859-1 (not -15) but still provide an Euro key (on the "E" key). ISO8859-1 currency symbols on other keys are still converted to that character, not the Euro sign. A similar hack was applied to the Japanese keyboards to add the Yen key, that could not be expressed in SYSCONS.
Several modifications have been applied after the conversion (removal of unused accents tables, some reformatting, exchange of a few key symbols).
The German keymap (de.kbd) is now using deadkeys only for those keys, that behave that way under Windows. There are now ".acc" and ".noacc" variants, which use deadkeys vs. nodeadkeys for all accent keys.
I'm still in the process of comparing keymaps that existed in different encodings in SYSCONS. These are generally translated slightly differently, either because of mistakes, or because of different preferences, or due to limitations of the respective encoding.

Attempt at converting the SYSCONS keymaps to Unicode for use with NEWCONS. I have spent many hours comparing source and destination formats, and hope to have caught the most severe conversion errors.
Files were converted with a Perl script which I'll shortly commit to the tools directory. This script is a much enhanced version of the one provided by ray@ and is expected to support the full kbdmap(5) syntax.
The naming convention used is:
<2-letter country code>.<variant>.kbd
Only if there are multiple layouts for different languages:
<2-letter country code>-<2-letter language code>.<variant>.kbd
In nearly all cases, the keyboards are country specific, only. Currently there is only one case where the language was added ("ch-fr.kbd" for the Swiss-French keyboard layout).
I choose to write Unicode character codes as hex numbers. While this increases the diff to the SYSCONS keymap files for the trivial cases (conversion from ISO8859-1), it really helps to verify the more complex cases against a Unicode table (which is indexed by hex numbers).
This commit does not cover all files that have been converted, since I need to sort out which ones to use, if there were several with different source encodings to choose from.
Review and test of the keymap files is highly desirable before 10.1 is released. I'd also appreciate educated opinions regarding the optimum variant (to be made available as the default for each language).
Since there are no NEWCONS keymaps in 10-STABLE, I plan to MFC after the minimum allowed delay of 3 days, to allow at least a few weeks to test and improve what will be in the next release.

Add a Macbook/Macbook Pro compatible keyboard layout for French keyboards. It is a latin9/ISO_8859-15 and features dead keys for ^/uml/`, Euro, oe/OE support and a few additional characters like copyright/trademark.
It is probably Powerbook/iBook compatible but I don't have a machine to test it with and the primary objective was to have a correct keyboard for within Parallels (for IntelMacs).
