None of these links are really helpful to figure out what the format looks
like. This API seems to be very fedora-specific, the way it works on win7
is described there:
http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/cc749191%28v=ws.10%29.aspx
though I did not quite get the format of keyboard layouts

 void osinfo_install_config_set_l10n_keyboard(OsinfoInstallConfig *config,
                                              const gchar *locale,
                                              const gchar *keyboard_layout);
will probably be more flexible. 'locale' would be in the same 'gettext'
format as in other places. Not sure at all what the format of
keyboard_layout should be, just that it can be NULL to use the default
keyboard layout (which is what we'll want most of the time).
