Does anyone have code that will remap keys on a 101 keyboard?

I specifically want to swap Backspace to ^Backspace.  Backspace
generates an ascii value of 0x8 (so does ^H).  I am running a terminal
emulator that doesn't interpret scancodes, but ascii vals, and thus
Backspace is equivalent to ^H.  These keys have to be independent.
So, if Backspace -> ^Backspace, which generates 0x7F, all will be fine.

I discarded the idea of running Superkey, et al - I only need one key
redefined.  I found a small app that remaps ESC and ` but don't have
the time to disassemble and debug the source (the author said it would
be ok).

So, I'd appreciate any help...
