libxkbcommon is a keymap compiler [1] which utilizes xkb
keyboard configuration database [2].
xkbcommon simplifies keyboard state handling by providing xkb_state
object which holds the current state of all modifiers, groups, LEDs,
etc, relating to the provided keymap.
Detecting modifier mapping should become simpler once it gets supported
in libxkbcommon. Also with xinput2 we could get rid of the XkbStateNotify
events, because xinput2 key press/release already include all the mod/group
info.
