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.
MFC after: 3 days

Add various new keymaps:
addition: danish syscons keymap with accents
There are two danish keymap files shipping with FreeBSD: danish.iso.kbd and danish.cp865.kbd. None of these support accents by use of dead keys, which isn't crucial to Danes but often used. This is a new keymap, danish.iso.acc.kbd, that's based on danish.iso.kbd with the accent part taken from german.iso.acc.kbd.
pl_PL.dvorak keymap for syscons.
Polish dvorak keymap by Robert Sebastian Gerus (17:05 01-07-2006 CEST) <arachnist@gmail.com>. Based on pl_PL.ISO-8859-2 and us.dvorak keymaps.
British English Dvorak keymap for syscons.
Attached is a Dvorak keymap for British English, with a pound-sterling symbol on on Shift-3 and some other characters in different places to the US Dvorak keymap. I've based the layout on the X.org GB keymap, Dvorak variant.
