I have done some changes to /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/nl as a quick
hack(Pablo do NOT add this to X) to let the euro work
Don't know if 8859-15 supports ij but i would suggest adding that one to
the list. There is only one problem. The symbol looks awful in the font
i use. That is if ydiaeresis is the same letter as ij, ÿ which i think
it is but i'm not certain
