[Bf-committers] Windows dead key accented characters

[Alexandr Kuznetsov]

Hi.

Seems good.
I will test it and apply it on Thursday after release.

Best,
Alex

P.S.
I was looking to support other languages like Chinese. It is more 
complicated then deadkeys as each new character can completely change 
the word. Typing should be context aware of text field.
