andrew@trogdor ~ $ setxkbmap -option 'altwin:super_win'
Illegal map name '(inet(hpi6))+' in symbols name
'pc/pc(pc104)+pc/us(inet(hpi6))+altwin(super_win)'
andrew@trogdor ~ $ setxkbmap -option 'altwin:superwin'
Illegal map name '(inet(hpi6))' in symbols name 'pc/pc(pc104)+pc/us(inet(hpi6))'

Given these various errors, I'm not sure that I've successfully turned
altwin:super_win on :)
