+	* generic/ks_names.h: Added Scroll_Lock and Sys_Req definitions.
+
+	* win/tkWinKey.c: Changed implementation of KeycodeToKeysym,
+	et. al., to use a keycode table for lookups; this will result in
+	faster keycode -> keysym translations for non-ASCII keys like
+	Control, Alt, etc.

     /*
      * Keycode mapped to a valid Latin-1 character.  Since the keysyms
      * for alphanumeric characters map onto Latin-1, we just return it.
+     *
+     * We treat 0x7F as a special case mostly for backwards compatibility.
+     * In older versions of Tk, Control-Backspace returned "XK_BackSpace"
+     * as the X Keysym.  This was due to the fact that we did not
+     * initialize the keys array properly when we passed it to ToAscii, above.
+     * We had previously not been setting the state bit for the Control key.
+     * When we fixed that, we found that Control-Backspace on Windows is
+     * interpreted as ASCII-127 (0x7F), which corresponds to the Delete key.
+     *
+     * Upon discovering this, we realized we had two choices:  return XK_Delete
+     * or return XK_BackSpace.  If we returned XK_Delete, that could be
+     * considered "more correct" (although the correctness would be dependant
+     * on whether you believe that ToAscii is doing the right thing in that
+     * case); however, this would break backwards compatibility, and worse,
+     * it would limit application programmers -- they would effectively be
+     * unable to bind to <Control-Backspace> on Windows.  We therefore chose
+     * instead to return XK_BackSpace (handled here by letting the code
+     * "fall-through" to the return statement below, which works because the
+     * keycode for this event is VK_BACKSPACE, and the keymap table maps that
+     * keycode to XK_BackSpace).
