I looked at rules/base and I saw that macintosh is included in $macs.
Because of that the macintosh keycodes are used even with the new
powermacs.  With the old version the macintosh keycodes were used only
with "macintosh_old", wasn't this correct?

I tested the new xkb files with console-setup.  This is the result for
the mac variants:

./kbdcompiler macintosh_old MyKeyboardNames.pl /usr/share/X11/xkb >macintosh_old.ekmap

I am not sure about the meaning of "reserved" and I suppose "Eurosign"
should be replaced by "EuroSign" or "Euro".
