Free modifier key assignment (OS X)

[David Reitter]

Here is the latest version of mac-modifier-keys patch, which allows  
people to freely assign modifier keys on their keyboard to Emacs  
modifiers.

The current solution is overly complicated and doesn't allow certain  
combinations of settings such as Command->Hyper (while saying Option- 
>Meta). The reasoning behind it is described here.

Note that any xmodmap solution people may think of will not work on  
OS X when using Carbon - OS X doesn't normally use X11 for its  
graphics output.

I would like to recommend applying this now before the release is  
readied, because otherwise one will have to change customization  
options that get documented in the release. The present patch allows  
for longer-term stability. (It is backwards-compatible to cater for  
the many people who've been installing CVS Emacs.)
