[comp.windows.x] arbitrary resource names in Xt

	I'm having trouble with retrieving arbitray resource names.  For my
application/widget, I have a set of default keymapping/translations, plus
a set of translations for specific keyboards plus anything the user wants.
I wish to have a resource hierachy as follows:
	appname.keymap.default: ..
	appname.keymap.sun3: ..
	appname.keymap.sun3.user: ..

I want to load the first, and then merge (override) with the next two.  The
type will be set via an envrionment variable or an option flag.
	It seems that Xt only want to retrieve resources that it know the
name of, which means recompiling to add a new keyboard. Anybody know how I
can do what I want?
