Yes, there was a note from some Apple engineers that it is not  
possible to remap these keys.  My solution:  I got a NeXT ADB  
keyboard from www.deepspacetech.com.  Sensible control-key placement,  
neato command-bar (may not be for everybody), pipe and backslash  
where you need them, black.  Problem is that not all magic  
key-sequences are supported, some people don't like the feel,  
expensive to ship to europe.  For me, the balance is definitely  
positive.
