OK.  Sounds like a very different keymap.  us.unix.kbd is intended to
mimic the "traditional" layout of keyboards found in the unix world
where the escape key is just above the tab key, the <- key generates
DEL and the control key is immediately under the Tab key.

I can't see any reason not to commit your keymap.  What's the take of
others on the list?
