Add Windows driver
Generate C header file based on layout description and create a source
bundle that must be compiled on a Windows system and then moved back to
the source tree. This sucks, but cross-compiling on Linux is a pain,
since Windows’ development headers assume a case-insensitive filesystem.
Also I’m using MSKLC because the latest driver development kit cannot
compile these drivers correctly. Dear @microsoft, please fix your shit:
https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/issues/433
A remaining concern right now is licensing. keyboard.{c,h,def,rc} have
been copied from a project generated by MSKLC and are probably non-free,
although pretty much identical files like
https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-driver-samples/blob/master/input/layout/kbdus/kbdus.c
are covered by MS-PL.
Also binds backspace key to \b and adjusts xmodmap/svg rendering
accordingly.
See #7.
