The following file doesn't seem to be used, but it is referred to in the
NWSCONS configuration file as the place for this sort of thing. It is also the
file that gets copied to /usr/include. This makes me wonder about the French
keyboard mapping, as it appears in pckbc/wskbdmap_mfii.c, but not in
wscons/wskbdmap_mfii.h, so how does for instance wsconsctl find out about it?

.. and an irrelevant observation, but in wscons/wsksymdef.h, why have
KS_ordfeminine, but KS_masculine as opposed to KS_ordmasculine ?
