I was thinking about this problem and noticed that fixing the right alt key to
always send a VK_RMENU inside wine would break the usage of altGr to input
modified characters; in light of it, this behavior seems like merely an example
of the different behaviors of Linux and Windows, and not a bug that can be
fixed.

(Incidentally, I think this is the reason Mode_switch sends the right alt
scancode, but not the right alt vkey; it would break altGr usage the same way.
Maybe a comment inside keyboard.c explaining why this can not be fixed would be
in order.)

At least now I know why my right alt was not working with wine, and can craft a
custom keymap to fix it for the one program where this matters to me (World of
Warcraft).
