ergonomic keybinding. Need qwerty testers.

The erognomic keybinding has a new version.

http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding.html

A visual image for old and new layout can be seen at:
http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding_change.html

Description of the main changes:

• Added delete-backward-char, delete-char, delete-backward-word,
delete-word commands.
• The undo, cut, copy, paste, positions has been moved.

Since i don't use qwerty, i'm looking for feedback on qwerty users.
(i.e. in case i had some elisp code errors, or any issues that might
come up)

------------------

The reason for these changes is that recently Stefan Guath pointed out
“real-last-command” can be used to fix the problem with “this-command”
that is used in command-frequency.el. (this-command lumps several kill
commands all into just kill-region, so frequency distribution for
individual kill commands are lost)

I've generally been willing to override bindings that I don't use - with the
exception of the basic cursor movement bindings. Even though I use the
arrow keys almost exclusively for one-character cursor movement, I've
always been reluctant to reclaim the standard C-f, &c. for other uses for
fear of being at a loss in situations where the arrow keys don't work.

Sure - go ahead.

Much improved new version 3.4.

Fixed compatility with cua mode, isearch, minibuffer, shell/comint
mode, info mode, and other modes: awk, rcirc, w3m, nxml. Compatible
with other major programing modes: c-mode, c++-mode, java, sh, js,
perl, php, python.

Also added just-one-space, delete-blank-lines. Added fill-paragraph,
unfill-paragraph. Added comment-dwim.
