 There is no standard as far as keyboard tables go. Every Unix flavour
has its own utility. For instance, OpenBSD has 'wsconsctl'.
 'loadkeys' is just a well-known tool that manages keyboard tables
under Linux, and it is only widely used because nobody ever bothered to
design another one. That hardly makes it a standard.

 Having the same interface as "loadkeys" offers one benefit: busybox
can then be used as a drop-in replacement for original loadkeys.
 This benefit should be compared to the benefit of designing and using
a leaner interface, that will not require including a full table parser
into the busybox binary.
