It's a pain for me each time I sup to have to undef FAT_CURSOR in pccons.c
all the time. I don't feel this should be hard defined inside the source in
this way. A solution: rename FAT_CURSOR to THIN_CURSOR, change the code
accordingly, so I can do `options THIN_CURSOR' in my kernel config.

Also, a long long time ago I hacked the capslock key to become a control
key if you defined something (you could get caps by using Right shift & caps.)
Here's the simple varient of that, caps is just a ctrl key (there's no way to
get caps with it.) Just do an `options CAPS_IS_CTL' in yer kernel define.
(Wait's for flames on ``run X and use xmodmap''... hmm, if I ran X i would use
xmodmap, infact that's what I do at work)

Here's my diff file (for renaming FAT_CURSOR, and putting in code
for CAPS_IS_CTL.) Can this be merged into current? (It doesn't change what
people get unless they ask for it, and I know a few other (local) current
users who hate fat_cursor, and like my ctrl hack.)

"When I left the monastery, it was not in pursuit of scholarship,
however, but in pursuit of an unparalleled career in crime.
It was quite a shock for me to discover that crime was so easy    Luke Mewburn
that it was boring.  [ ...  ] Solving crime, I had belatedly    <lm@rmit.edu.au>
discovered, was at least a hundred times more difficult than
committing it, so I hung the sign of a half-closed eye above
my door and I have never regretted it."
