Thanks Lennart, this subtlety had escaped me. :-p

However I found the windows key is often not recognized properly when 
using emacs in no-window mode, specially in some terminal emulator. A 
remapping like that could be very inconvenient. Anyway, thanks to Drew I 
heard about the feature, on my own I never would have found it. (I found 
most of the "fancier" commands through typos ;) )
