 It doesn't appears to have been accepted.

 The files aren't taggued correctly for pkgbase but I'll fix that in a
bit.

 May I ask why this format was chosen ?
 How was it generated ?
 I'm not sure what do they contain too, is the first column the keycode
and the other the ascii code ? If yes then there is at least a problem
in the fr layout where the keycode for 'A'/'a' is 0x15 while in reality
it's 0x14. Also the fr file have a comment that says "fr : French
French Canadian (accent keys) Swiss-French", what does this means ? All
three have different keyboard layout so I don't see how this should
work.

 We also already have two (at least) keymap files installed, one for
syscon and one for vt, re-using them (or modifying vt/sc and bhyve to
use one keymap file) would really be better.

 Cheers,
