XKB keyboard layout for X11 - Algeria

I'm working on an alternative standardised layout of the dz xkb for GNU/Linux based on the freedesktop package, mainly /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/dz and /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/*

Note : Please don't use this work in production situation. It is a work in progress.

Main changes :

• Introducing ɛ Ɛ γ Γ alphabetic letters and commonly used Unicode symbols
• Getting rid off extra characters such as egrave, apostrophe, agrave, ccedilla and so on : éèùàç'
• Reorganising the dz syntax with tabs
• Better ASCII keyboard layouts view in terminal mode
• Using kab or regional kab_dz as ISO since Tamazight is not defined.

Work in progress (future)

The idea is to add a Qwerty(z), Dvorak, Bépo, Colemak like layouts for Kabyle and take into consideration Mac layout, OLPC and other OS.
