But that said there is KMFL on linux which handles a subset of the keyman definition files. And Keith Striebly, before he died, did a port of the kmfl lib to windows. But I doubt anyone is maintaining it. But reality is that the use cases discussed in this and related threads do not need fairly complex or sophisticated layouts. So kmfl and derivates should be fine respite how limited I consider them. Alternative there are a range of input frameworks developed in se asia that would be easy to work with as well. Alternative input frameworks have been around for years. Its up to use them or not use them. I don't see much point bleating about the limitations of the win32 keyboard model. Just use amlternative input framework .. wether it is TSF table based input, keyman , kmfl port to windows or any of a large slather of input frameworks that are available out there.
