It should be easy to change the keywords, they are defined in the standard
library module keyword.  Change all 'import keyword' to 'import mykeyword',
which should be a module following the same format, but with your keywords.

Changing compile commands should not be too hard either, but I don't know
how to go about that.

I believe you are free to do whatever modifications you want to IDLE, as
long as you preserve copyright and stuff, but I don't know for sure.  There
should be some kind of licence distributed with IDLE, but I'm too lazy to
look for it.
