I thought I'd mention that OS X takes an interesting approach to this.
 When you plug in a keyboard it doesn't recognize, it does a little
dance where it tells you to press certain keys (e.g., "Press the key
to the right of the left Shift key," with a little graphic to help you
understand which key it means) and from the results it infers the
layout.
