Did this work for you?  I have a rather strangely layed out keyboard
which is missing certain keys, such as Option and the whole numeric
keypad, and I want the following mapping:

left Ctrl -> Option
Caps Lock -> Control
Right Cmd -> Enter

which reasonably approximates a PowerBook's layout.  I tried doing
this with the keyboard mapping but could never get it to work.
