This patch makes simple macros of the form `<mods>-<key>` less noisy by
avoiding the redundant release/depression of modifiers which are already
active. This used to be the default behaviour prior to 2.3.0-rc, but was
changed to accommodate #128 (among other things). In most cases the
additional noise is transparent to the application, but notably breaks
Gnome tab-switching via swap, since Gnome cares about intermediate
modifier state.
The stock XCompose file which ships with most distros isn't exhaustive
and uses a number of layout specific keysyms intended to be easy to
memorize (rather than globally accessible). To circumvent this problem
we ship our own set of simplified compose definitions.
