That precisely what I did. It was horrible to have the key 'A' mapped
to ';' whereas 'Q' was mapped to alpha, etc. So I changed the
mapping, and I took also advantage that an AZERTY keyboard has a lot
of diacritics which can be directly mapped into polytonic greek
(diaeresis, various accents, caret, cedilla for iota subscriptum...)

I don't claim that what I wrote would be ideal for all French people
interested in polytonic greek. Yet, it is more intuitive for a French
keyboard user than a mapping based on some unknown layout, which
requires quite a significant time to get used to.
Beyond that, though I am not sure anymore, I vaguely remember that
some dead keys of el, polytonic were inactive (like dead_ogonek, which
produced nothing).
Evkalisto ! ;)
