I have an extensive set of changes that allow help to be moved to any
character.  The changes even include mods to help-for-help, some local
keymaps, and other previously hardcoded references to C-h. Simplier
help remaps are possible, but they will "getcha" eventually.

These were originally done by Mark Baushke and Rich Berlin.

Mail me a note to get these changes.
