>// Windows-compatible US-international definition for a normal US/ASCII layout.
>// by Stefan Heinzmann (stefan_heinzmann@yahoo.com)
>// Based on us_intl, (see also comments there):
>// $XFree86: xc/programs/xkbcomp/symbols/us_intl,v 1.4.4.1 2002/08/26 21:43:24 paulo Exp $
>//
>// Modified by R. Medina at  <AE09>, <AE10>, <AE11>, <AC09> and <AB09>.
>//
>//
>// The US-international layout in various versions of Microsoft Windows adds
>// multinational features to the normal US keyboard layout.
>// 5 key combinations are used for dead-keys: ^~`'"
>// In addition, the right Alt key is used - similar to the AltGr key on many
>// European keyboards - as a mode shift key. This key works with the majority
>// of the other keys on the keyboard - both unshifted and shifted - to form
>// numerous special symbols from the Latin-1 character set.
>//
>// Many language-specific letter forms can thus be entered either as a
>// dead-key combination or using the right Alt key.
>//
>// Under Windows, there's a proprietary Latin-1 extension called CP-1252 that
>// contains additional characters, most notably the Euro sign, some of which
>// can also be entered using the US-international keymap. It is therefore
>// difficult to provide complete Windows compatibility here.
>//
>// Besides this CP-1252 issue there is another difference:
>// Under Windows, pressing a dead key followed by a key with which it does
>// not combine produces both symbols, whereas under X only the last key's
>// symbol is produced. For example entering ' followed by p produces 'p under
>// Windows and p under X.
>//
>// See below in the table how you can enable compose mode, which is not
>// available in the Windows layout. When compose mode is on the order matters
>// in which you press Alt and Shift, because Shift then Alt enters compose mode
>// whereas Alt then Shift gives you access to the fourth column in the table
>// below.
