Alternate Keyboard(s) on 2008.8

[Peter Rasmussen]

Could we please also get a qwerty keyboard on the GTA01? I don't have a 
GTA02.
I complained when it was changed, but it didn't seem to matter to the 
people making the general releases.
And when given the choice of a qwerty keyboard, shouldn't international 
characters be of some priority?
