Oh no, making the precompiled keymaps is simple enough, the problem is how to use them. With Xorg 6.8 and 6.9 you just added the -kbm option to X, but that option has been removed with more recent version. So I have a nice xkm file, but no means to use it :-) For a normal distro it wouldn't really matter to use xkb in stead, but when you run off a RAM disk on primitive hardware, you can't really afford to waste at couple of MB just to get the right keymap.
