Currently the code sends ^H for Alt+Backspace, which clobbers 'kill

Right. I forgot about that. Presumably there's no linux standard that
says Alt-Backspace should be translated to ^H. If there were such a
standard, then Alt-Backspace would never work as backward-kill-word in
emacs under linux. So, again, I would vote for following the linux
standard if there is one, and leaving Alt-Backspace alone otherwise.
"Leaving Alt-Backspace alone" is unclear. What I should have said is,
"Do whatever needs to be done so that emacs interprets Alt-Backspace as
M-DEL." I *think* that means just translating Backspace to DEL, as is
now done when Alt isn't pressed. Presumably emacs knows that Alt was
pressed and can interpret the keystroke accordingly. That's what
happens with other Alt+key combinations.
