This tool set ups the required directory structure and template files to add new
keyboard layouts or options. For example, run like this:

    xkbcli-scaffold-new-layout  --layout 'us(myvariant)' --option 'custom:foo'

This will up the evdev rules file, the evdev.xml file, the symbols/us file and
symbols/custom file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME so that the user has everything in place
and can start filling in the actual key mappings.

This tool is currently uninstalled until we figure out whether it's useful.
