bug#4091: No Japanese Katakana input with shift pressed in Japanese input mode (Kotoeri/Mac)

[Jean-Christophe Helary <jean.christophe.helary@gmail.com>]

I am using a Japanese input method (Kotoeri) that allows direct input  
of Katakana while holding the shift key.
In Aquamacs 1.8 and 2.0 preview holding the shift key only produces  
capital alphabet letters, not katakana signs.

Input without shift held correctly produces hiragana.
