It's not exactly SDL's fault. The guilty parties are the emulators themselves
and the way they map keypresses. For example, if the emulator expects a
cooked keycode corresponding to the ASCII character "1" to identify the key
second from the left on the top row of the main keyboard block, then this
won't work with a French or Belgian keyboard, because that key returns
"!" (or whichever punctuation symbol - I forget).

I haven't finished the raw key mapping for SDL on OS X yet, so enabling that
option won't help - yet.
