I've compiled and run the program on the clean azerty system I have here 
(from a floppy w/ the cygwin dll on it). It works like a charm, 
including the AltGr button. The only thing is doesn't get is the ÃƒÂª and ÃƒÂ« 
like things that French keyboard can automagically handle, but I'm 
assuming that's a codepage problem (though I'm not 100% sure).
The output of trying to type ÃƒÂ« (without using the ASCII code as I'm used 
to on my QWERTY machine) is like this:
-- BEGIN SCREEN SNIPPET --
KeyDown (*1) 0010 002A ' ' U+0000 00000030 <-- pressing shift
KeyUp (*1) 0000 007A ' ' U+0000 00000030 <-- ??
KeyUp (*1) 0000 007A ' ' U+0000 00000030 <-- ??
KeyDown (*1) 00DD 001A ' ' U+0000 00000030 <-- pressing ÃƒÂ« (w/o e)
KeyUp (*1) 00DD 001A ' ' U+0000 00000030 <-- releasing everything
KeyUp (*1) 0010 002A ' ' U+0000 00000020
KeyDown (*1) 0045 0012 '%' U+C589 00000020 <-- pressing e
KeyUp (*1) 0045 0012 'e' U+0065 00000020 <-- releasing e
--- END SCREEN SNIPPET ---
(I don't have the ^/ÃƒÂ«(w/o e) button on my QWERTY keyboard w/ which I'm 
typing this, ofcourse)
If you want more info, just mail - I'm in a helpful mood today :)
Greetz!
