There is already a UK keymap in the CVS, and it should (but I haven't
checked that it actually *is*) included in the tarballs.

There is, see above.

As mentioned above, several keytables already exists in the CVS. If you
need to edit or create your own, you can use mktbl which is in the cvs
(not very easy to use as you need to edit a text-file to create a
keymap) or download my KeyEdit (http://atari.nvg.org) which is a GEM
application. But KeyEdit is not yet updated to handle deadkeys, and it
can't save the keytables in plain text format yet.
