Support for differentiating between left and right modifier keys has only
existed since Mac OS 10.3 (Panther), and
handling this issue is still pretty tricky.
Basically, you need to use the NX_DEVICELCTLKEYMASK and related private
constants (I believe they are buried in
the IOKit headers), and compare them with the modifier bit field. They are
several pitfalls associate with this
process however, so I will see if I can dig up my old code which handles it.

I've clarified in the programming guide (r2417) right-side modifiers are not
supported in OS X (a limitation of
Carbon).
