At least in X11 you can easily use the windows keys as new modifier.
I configured the left on as left Alt (my Alt key is Meta) and the
right one as menu. The menu key is defined as multikey, aka compose):
keycode 0x73 = Alt_L
keycode 0x74 = Menu
keycode 0x75 = Multi_key
clear Shift
clear Lock
clear Control
clear Mod1
clear Mod2
clear Mod3
clear Mod4
clear Mod5
add Shift = Shift_L Shift_R
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L Control_R
add Mod1 = Meta_L
add Mod2 = Num_Lock
add Mod3 = Mode_switch
add Mod4 = Alt_L Alt_R
The above lines are from my .Xmodmap.
