This is my latest (and possibly last) xkb update.
It has been organized to make
personal customization really easy.
Be sure to back up before overwriting /usr/share/X11/symbols/us
with the following text. Customize at will. It's easy, very easy.

// Dead-keys definition for a very simple US/ASCII layout.
// by Conectiva (http://www.conectiva.com.br)
// modified by Ricardo Y. Igarashi (iga@that.com.br)
// Added the following deadkeys, to make it truly international:
//
// dead_macron: on AltGr-minus
// dead_breve: on AltGr-parenleft
// dead_abovedot: on AltGr-period
// dead_abovering: on AltGr-0
// dead_doubleacute: on AltGr-equal (as quotedbl is already used)
// dead_caron: on AltGr-less (AltGr-shift-comma)
// dead_cedilla: on AltGr-comma
// dead_ogonek: on AltGr-semicolon
// dead_belowdot: on AltGr-underscore (AltGr-shift-minus)
// dead_hook: on AltGr-question
// dead_horn: on AltGr-plus (AltGr-shift-equal)
// dead_diaeresis: on AltGr-colon (Alt-shift-semicolon)
//
// those were already there:
// dead_grave
// dead_acute
// dead_circumflex
// dead_tilde
// dead_diaeresis
