I haven't! But tell me, what is it that is supposed to work
(or not work)?

I have a US layout QWERTY keyboard and the Alt key works as
Meta both in the Linux VTs and in X, in a GUI Emacs.

This is the only setting I ever had to do

xterm*metaSendsEscape: true

in .Xresources, see e.g. [1]

Building your own keyboard sounds like fun tho, but since
a keyboard is just a bunch of rows with buttons surely
programming them with software must be the first stop to
configuring them :)
