Summary: VKEYBD: Invalid XML in vkeybd.xml / XML parser too limited

Initial Comment:
In current SVN, the vkeybd.xml file (in backends/vkeybd/vkeybd.zip) contains invalid XML. Specifically, it contains attributes like these:
  target="&"
  target="<"

Neither is allowed, see <http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#syntax>. Correct would be:
  target="&"
  target="<"
but our "XML" parser doesn't support these (mandatory to support for a true XML parser, which ours of course is not) entities.

Possible fixes:
* Fix the XML file then add support for the mandatory XML entities: &  <  >  ' "
* switch to a non-XML file (the image map data could still be generated from a HTML imagemap as source, using a simple perl/python/whatever script).
