I see, and I can completely understand why you'd do so: if it's just a few ints here and there, it's reasonable enough, since the overhead to add some text file parsing to load the keyset(s) would be pretty large.

Still, I would vote in favor of having separate keyset files, preferably in a human readable format. It would enable not only the packaging flexibility suggested above, but also would enable a lot of flexibility for the end-user: people could test/develop modified/new keysets, even on their N900s directly, without having to rebuild the app for every change.

If you're okay with the idea but just don't want to take the time to code it, I wouldn't mind taking a go at it, and then you can reject/approve my patch as you wish.

I agree completely, which is why I was much more in favor of alternative 1 than alternative 2 anyway. Besides things like IDS/IPS rulesets, which need to have as rapid of updates as possible, I am tempted to say distributing stuff through third party servers when it can be packaged instead is not the best route to go - I just figured I'd throw it in there for completeness.
