Hmmm...  I'm confused.  It is a starting point, just not one that monitors
USB keyboards.  A "perfect" starting point would be one in which you didn't
need to make any changes.  Why throw the baby out with the bath water?  Why
not just rewrite check_linux_interrupts to somehow watch the usb keyboard as
well (however that might be done)?  It's not going to be any more difficult
to check for USB keyboard interrupts in this project than in some other and
it already has a more-or-less functional user interface and support for
Windows.
