Still buggy and only against the old branch, but slightly updated to
work against cvs again. (I hope)


Now no changes are made to the meta command. Instead a new command is
introduced, keypress. It takes one argument, namely the key to be
pressed. Which could be either a key in the top keymap or just any key
at all.

Known bugs for now is that it kills rp when feeded a key symbol that
doesn't exist.

Examples,

To simulate :meta just type
        :keypress C-t

To maximize your firefox even when F11 is in your top keymap, type
        :keypress F11

To play with a friend who forgot to logout his account, wait until he
stares at his terminal without any fingers on the keyboard and use your
access to his account typing

        % for key in S p o o o k y
          do
             ratpoison -c "keypress $key"
             sleep 1
          done

To crash your ratpoison type
        :keypress UmgebrachenMirBitte


Any comments?
