There is no KCHR resource in uw.  [At least, there's none in v4.2, the
last distributed version.  My development version uses KCHR's now.]
v4.2 maps the keys itself by using the keycode and modifiers to form
an index into a resource-based lookup table.  Unfortunately, it
doesn't handle "dead keys" correctly on Macs with ADB keyboards.

I believe that the problem here is that Command-Space is now reserved
by Apple for the Script Manager.  I don't have IM VI handy, but I
believe it switches to the next script system (Command-Option-Space
switches to the next keyboard layout within the current script system,
I think).  Thus, uw no longer sees the event and therefore is
powerless to do anything about it.
