I used to be able to use my keyboard's ALT key as a meta key in
emacs-19.19, a few months ago.  Either upgrading to emacs-19.22 or
console/pccons changes since then have changed something so that ALT
doesn't work that way any more (it's like I'm not pressing it at all).
I don't know which chunk o' code is the culprit, though.

Does the pcvt in the latest kernel work?
Does it have the Gateway/Phoenix keyboard problem?
Can I use ALT as a meta key with it?
Will I be hosed by the off_t changes if I grab just a new kernel and
  config, and use them with a system that is otherwise 3/19/94?
