Comment (by jscipione):

 I have decided to split up the patch into a couple of patches so there is
 now some assembly required. To apply the changes, copy the attached layout
 files to your data/system/data/KeyboardLayouts/ dir. Note, don't create a
 subdir for the Apple Aluminum files, that is now done in HaikuImage for
 you. You should also probably delete the existing 'Apple Aluminium' keymap
 file since it is obsolete, however, it won't hurt if you don't since that
 keyboard layout files won't be added to the image once the HaikuImage
 patch is applied anyway.

 Next apply the HaikuImage patch to include the layout files into the
 image. The patch will create an 'Apple Aluminum' subdirectory in the
 system/data/KeyboardLayouts/ directory of the corresponding image.

 Finally apply the submenu patch to get the Keymap preference app to
 recognize subdirs as submenus in the Layout menu. The restriction of only
 allowing 1 subdir is lifted so this patch will allow you to potentially
 have multiple levels of submenus in the future. This is only really useful
 if we get a lot more layout files but it is the right thing to do (tm).
