Myanmar3 Keyboard Layout

The basic layout for Burmese included x11 is not flexible (easy to type) and not widely used for typing Burmese. Actually, I can honestly say that nobody ever uses that layout.

Until now, we are using a custom debian package, which overwrites that basic layout (symbols/mm). But, since ubuntu (dpkg?) disables overwriting files of other packages (though it can still be enabled using --force-overwrite), it is getting more troublesome to install for non-geek users to install. 

I would like to request to change it to more widely used Myanmar3 layout. It is one of the most popular keyboard layouts for Burmese. It is also the official layout for Myanmar3 Unicode font, produced Myanmar NLP. (http://www.myanmarnlp.net.mm/).

Can we keep the name "basic"?

cool. thanks, committed! If people are not happy about that change - I'll have to revert.

I dropped CAPS mapping, since it is covered by standard pc mappings
