This patch allows to move Control modifier only in Emacs.
For example, you can do
(setq x-ctrl-keysym 'meta)
(setq x-meta-keysym 'ctrl)
to swap Control and Meta in Emacs, but not in X Window.

This does make sense, I guess? And there's the precedence with
`x-alt-keysym' and friends...
On the other hand, stuff like this really ought to be fixed on the X
level, I think.
Opinions?

I would much prefer a patch that's independent of the underlying GUI, so
we can use the same config vars under a tty, X11, Windows, ...

That would be a lot better. Is there a particular reason for why all
these other keysum redefinition things (like `x-alt-keysum' and friends)
target X particularly? Historical reasons?

Probably historical reasons, yes.
The fact that we have many such variables for different GUI backends and
that none of them are really general indicates that it's just the result
of a patchwork of small changes to cover the submitter's
particular needs.
IOW, not much design in there.
Then again of course, maybe it's not as easy to do in a generic way.

Is this possible to do on that level?
Anyway, I don't really feel that it makes much sense to have these piece
meal way of modifying some modifier keys in Emacs, when you can do that
directly in X (or whatever GUI you're using), so I'm closing this bug.
