Which is unusable for Latin-2 consoles too... Actually I tried to get the
bordering chars in /usr/src/linuc# make menuconfig <ENTER> right with
Latin-2 fonts. It was FAR easier to provide an appriopritae
termcap/terminfo entry for this font encoding then to use any of the output
remapping stuff from kbd-0.94.

So Linus please take of all of the uncide stuff ot of the kernel. If it
would be even usable it doesn't belong there anyway....
