There's a minor update to KEGS to v1.21 to fix two new bugs: a problem with
keys repeating on German keyboards (and maybe others), and to fix a hang
when ejecting 3.5" disks.

KEGS v1.21 is available at: http://kegs.sourceforge.net

Changes in KEGS v1.21 since v1.19 (04/15/23)
- Fix Antoine's reported issue where KEGS would hang after ejecting 3.5" disks.
Caused by a debug statement accidentally left in for the release.
- Fix Stephan's reported issue with keys repeating forever with French
keyboards.

It's likely any non-US keyboard. The reported example was actually a
German keyboard (I made a thoughto and typed the wrong thing) where
Shift-2 was ". (On a US keyboard, Shift-2 is @ and Shift-' is "). KEGS
was modified over a year ago to try to work with any keyboard--if you
press Shift-2 and your OS delivers ", then KEGS would deliver " to the
emulated Apple IIgs. The user ran with ADB verbose printfs enabled, and
sent the output to me, and I could see the problem.

The problem was if the user does this sequence of key presses: Hold
down Shift, press and hold the '2' key, release the Shift key, then
release the '2' key--then KEGS would get confused and think the ' key
was being held down. This was because KEGS was pretending the user was
really pressing the ' key with Shift down, but if shift was released
first, then when the '2' key was released, KEGS forgot about the fake '
key it created. So the ' key would begin repeating in the emulated
IIgs. If Shift was held down when 2 was released, it worked fine. I
added code so KEGS remembers these "virtual" keys it was creating so
when the 2 key is released, the virtual ' is released as well.
