Fixed no.map dumped with busybox dumpkmap

I do no know what is the upstream for this format of .map files, so I'm reporting this here:

None of the existing Norwegian kb-maps have ever matched the markings of the keys on a handful of the symbol scan-codes (for example {, }, ,[ and ]) on any real keyboard I've ever seen since the kernel 2.x days. And I worked for 10yrs in a computer-shop, as repairman, so I've seen most of them.

Some year ago I got fed up, and made a patch for the file in sys-apps/kbd. I've used that version for more then 3yrs on multiple keyboards without any issues; all keys do what they markings say. I've sent a patch for that version to the kbd-project-ml. 

Attaching a version make from that one with "busybox dumpkmap > no.map" here.
