The keymap builtin (or script?) stuff changes the keymap on keyboards at
hotplug time (e.g. USB keyboards that are connected to a hub in the
monitor will need this whenever the monitor is turned off and back on
again, unless you use the standard Linux kernel US keymap).

gperf is generating a hashtable from the configuration in the keymaps
file.  I suspect that file will change with the next release, meaning
patching in a generated pair of header files is only good for now.  :-/

Let me see if I can hack anything up.  It might involve rerunning
autoconf and automake (after ripping out junk from the source files), or
it might involve faking out configure (by creating a broken
config.cache) and going the way Ken was looking (using the Makefile
infrastructure).  But I think either of those should work; we have all
the auto* stuff installed by the time we hit udev in chapter 6.
