Create ability to use labels for variant keys

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to create a keybord that has a button with several 
usernames as variant keys of a single key defined in 
layout.plist. (ie I have an @ key that's variants consists 
of 5 usernames). However, all five usernames cannot fit 
inside the popout window that houses the variants.

My idea is to enable labels for variant keys.  This way, a 
larger number of variants can be assigned to one key, 
and variant keys will be able to insert long text without 
taking up too much space.

This feature can be implemented in variants.plist:

"@" = ("parm289","1"; "kennytm","2");

Where each key is defined with 2 arguments: 
"string","label" and keys are separated with a 
semicolon.  This would make my life easier, and i'm 
sure there would be other uses for it as well.

• Changed state: Accepted
• Added labels: Component-Scripts, Priority-Low, Project-iKeyEx, Type-Enhancement, Usability

Implemented in r232.

But the syntax would be

"@" = ((parm289, 1), (kennytm, 2), etc, etc, etc);
