I added two new input methods.

     -  both are qwerty type of key distributions (meaning a is mapped to
        aleph etc). One is based on the one found in xkb, which is
        shipped by most X.org distributions. The other one is based on my
        private preferences.

     -  I suggested to add them to the GNU emacs hebrew.el, Stefan
        agreed, but then I had to sign copyright assignments  to the FSF
        which meant sending a snmail to the US, which looked to much
        trouble for me.

The lines in hebrew.el which refer to any copyright are:
