 OPT was used in place of ALT on old Mac keyboards, that's way it used this
 name in BeOS. But modern x86 Macs no longer use OPT, only ALT. So, OPT is
 definitively wrong and misleading - at least until we don't have a working
 Haiku for PPC Macs :)
 WIN is better suited and everybody will understand it - including recent
 Mac owners who have CMD and the clover on that key; slightly older Macs
 have the Apple logo and the clover. See the picture of my 2006 MacBook
 compared with the 2008 model: http://www.biffuz.it/misc/macbooks.jpg
