I have noticed that we get a steady trickle of these. Shouldn't it be 
possible to get the definitions of all keyboards from the XFree sources 
and find some way to automatically import them?

The other trickle we're seeing is with timezones. So in a similar way 
maybe we could get the data from the site below and import it all:
http://www.timeanddate.com/library/abbreviations/timezones/

Would this make sense?

That is a very limited number of timezone abbreviations.
You should use go for the timezone data in
ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/tzdata*.tar.gz which is the source for the
timezone data in Linux, *BSD and probably others.

I am working to get this data - as far as Window's limited timezone
information allows - converted. That means that in Wine there will be a
same timezones (e.g. Europe/Amsterdam) as under Linux including the
daylight saving transition times.

Probably. But actually I need to find some time and fix the source of
the problem: fill keyc2vkey and keyc2scan tables with actual data
reported by X11, not values from hardcoded keyboard layouts.
