Redo it all in if()-else code (or have use a switch with a function that 
returns "action" event constants), yes, but like you said in a more 
dynamic, smarter way.  I think that storing the keymap in the .B.blend 
is a good idea, IMHO,  and right now I have a function system to do 
that, and also the UI for it.  Perhaps whoever is doing the event system 
could take a look at my code. . .maybe use part of it.  Or maybe just 
use one idea and write their own system, lol.
