Comment (by janiczek):

 1. done. Now the unassigned combinations fall through.
 2. done. And it's switched with the ROption.
 3. after discussion on IRC we found out that carons and rings aren't
 supported as dead keys in Haiku. So I did the following:
 - acute is acute, diaeresis are diaeresis, circumflex is circumflex
 - caron is in the place of tilde (PC Czech layout uses that too)
 - ring is in the place of grave
 4. since the Option and Command+Option layouts are not really all that
 useful for Czechs and they're more of a quirk of the Czech Mac keyboard
 layout, I didn't add them.

 Two issues with the dead keys though:
 - ring ... none of 0xcb9a, 0xcc8a and 0xc2b0 works as intended (write
 ring, write letter -> have combined letter)
 - circumflex ... the same problem, tried `'^'`, 0xcb86, 0xcc82

 Because of these two things I don't yet consider this done. But I'm
 clueless on how to fix it.
