fixes #7068

This is a proposal to rewrite mcompile for Linux. For this we need to query the base keyboard data from the Linux platform, then rewriting the keyboard .kmx using the same approach as is done in mcompile for Windows, but working from the data from the x11 keyboard on Linux.

Ideally, we'd rewrite mcompile to be cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS), so that the keyboard interrogation would be separated from the .kmx rewriting, at least to some degree. Nevertheless it would probably be easiest to start from a standalone implementation.
