yup, that's a 574B.  i'm not going to worry about that, for the
moment.  i'm gonna stick with the 'truckload of magtapes', err
'handful of cd-r's/floppies'.  i'll tame that later.

i want to charm python (and kill configure) first, now i can type.

it's not perfect:

    alt alt-gr ` e

does not give me a è, but i can type that directly.  anyway,
i can type ascii, which is all i need for the moment.

the trouble is that i don't want to make it too vaio specific,
but i don't think it is.  the code changes are trivial, but not
exactly obvious.

writing code on azerty really sucks;  none of the 'special'
characters are easy to get to, it's always alt-gr + char
and the redirection chars show up on scancode 0x56 <sigh>.

and no smashed file-systems :)

and i'm having fun.
