tools: add xkbcli-scaffold-new-layout as helper tool This tool set ups the required directory structure and template files to add new keyboard layouts or options. For example, run like this: xkbcli-scaffold-new-layout --layout 'us(myvariant)' --option 'custom:foo' This will up the evdev rules file, the evdev.xml file, the symbols/us file and symbols/custom file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME so that the user has everything in place and can start filling in the actual key mappings. This tool is currently uninstalled until we figure out whether it's useful. Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net>
