The question is "who does events.h and keyboard.h belong to ?"
Recently, the answer has been "EvStack and LibGGI".  Ages ago, the
answer was "the KGI console, and LibGGI".  The point is, it is *shared*
between two/three projects, and while that is true, we *should* care.

Now the idea of breaking away, and moving events.h and keyboard.h into
lib/libggi/include/ggi (and thereby becoming a part of the LibGGI API
and not shared anymore) is worth considering.  I don't know.  That's a
big move...

Jason seems O.K. with it (it's not like it's a massive change), so yeah
we'll implement it :->.

Cheers...
