RE: [Plib-devel] pwSetAutoRepeatKey...and pwMacOSX.

Well, one obvious solution is just not to use the shift key for anything in
the game.  It doesn't generate a callback call, anyway.  ("Doc, it hurts
when I do *this*."  "So don't to that.")

Well, that sounds like a really difficult thing to do - and almost
impossible
to test...so I suppose this isn't a business we should be in.

I guess if GLUT and freeglut are broken, we can just call this a bug in the
keyboard handlers in Windows and X11.

It's going to be a big hassle to work around though.
