Looks like I'm betraying my '70s training here. CTRL and SHIFT were 
modifiers at the hardware level which flipped bits 7 and 8 (do I mean 6 & 
7? It's a long time ago) as the key code was sent to the CPU. It's hard to 
know where ALT and Windows fit into this scheme.

I wonder whether the distinction is more conceptual than physical. If you 
put a hardware device on the keyboard cable you'll find a code generated 
when the Windows key is pressed, I'm pretty sure. That makes it a real key 
in my book.
