[ELPA] programmer-dvorak input method

Hello party people!

I thought I'd give this another go. Attached is a file with a new input
method. Maybe somebody other than me will find it useful :). John
thought it would fit best in ELPA.

I have signed the FSF papers.

Thanks.

Two comments:

 . Could you please expand the doc string so as to explain a bit more
   about the utility of this input method?  Who would like to use it
   and for what purposes?

 . I rather think that input methods should all be bundled: they are
   too small to justify a separate package, and too basic to ask users
   to download them when they need them.

I'm not against that, provided they need little maintenance after having been
added. Does this mean created an "extra-inputs" project on ELPA, into which
all these additions get added?

If that question was for me, I'm not sure I understand it.

It was for you. So I'll just ask back: What were you suggesting the answer be
to your point above?

Thanks for the feedback. :)

Is this better?

If I may be so bold as to speak for Eli, what I _think_ he meant was
that input methods should be bundled with "core" Emacs, and not reside
in ELPA, since they impose no maintenance burden. And personally I think
that sounds good. :)

But I'm new to the game, so I leave it up to you guys to make the best
decision :)

Yes, that's what I meant.  Sorry for my ambiguous wording.

Ah, OK, that's fine with me then.

Thanks, pushed to emacs-25.

(I deleted the autoload cookie at the end, since it's not needed --
leim-list.el defines it automatically.)

Thanks! That's my first contribution!

Time to break out the bubbly!
