Done.

I have only done a few bind (the one I need for pc-select-mode indeed) for the 
moment, I'll work on a generic way to add keysym later, I will be very busy 
until late September.

You can find xkeysyms.sl, and pc-select.sl in 
http://www.lrde.epita.fr:800/~burrus_n/pub/jed/ .

The first thing to resolve in the ascii string to associate with keysyms, I 
don't use standard sequences yet.

Nevertheless pc-select-mode seems to work quite fine, even if I don't like the 
actual version of the code, not factorized enough, but I'm just learning 
slang so please be indulgent :)
