[I18n] endash (Gedankenstrich) on german keyboard with Linux

[Kai Engert]

I would like to suggest the following change (see patch below) to 
XFree86. It adds an additional keyboard shortcut.

Do you agree to add it to XFree86?
Whom should I talk to to get it added?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Kai

When writing german text documents, one very often needs access to the 
special "endash" character, called "Gedankenstrich" in german.
It is a dash that is longer than a standard dash. (Unicode 0x2013, HTML 
entity –)

On a RedHat 7.3 system using XFree86 4.2.0, the following change works 
for me, and maps the endash char to "altgr+minus".
