It is not that easy:

Maps are recursive. For example to get the Map "de.nodead" the map "us" is
loaded. Then the Map "de" is merged. Then the Map "de.nodead" is merged.

It will be difficult to only keep the needed maps based on a config option.

At this moment wskbdmap_mfii.c supports 10 languages with variants. The
tables use only 2720 bytes. I'm still in favour of option 2).
