A couple of people are suggesting this, but let me disagree here. 
First, images should remain portable -- let's not end image portability
just to have different key mappings.  I'd hate to download a windows
image from someone and have it use control instead of alt.  Second, this
is trivial to do in the VM: the VM's already have a mapping from keys to
Squeak modifiers, and we can easily set those mappings to anything we
like.
