Shift behaves like Cap

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When I press Shift (no double-press for Caps!) it won't recognize that I typed 
a letter. Shift stays enabled and behaves like caps-lock.
I must manually disable it by tapping shift once again.

I did a little investigation and it looks like this happens because 
shouldChangeCharactersInRange returns NO.  Its set to do this so that backspace 
continues to work regardless of what it thinks is in the input field.  We might 
be able to intercept characters some other way instead of overriding 
shouldChangeCharactersInRange?  Making that function return YES fixes the shift 
issue, but the breaks the backspace key.  We could also figure out another way 
to manually turn off the shift key when a key is pressed.

So, is there a convient way for this?
As far as my programming knowledge goes, which really is basic, there could 
just be an array of chars. Whenever Shift is pressed and one of those chars is 
then written, shift will be changed back to "false", or whatever then in Obj-C

In order to fix some backspace issues on the ipad, I ended up re-writing the 
keyboard routines in r462 and fixing this as a side effect.
