XKeysymDB est mort vive le ...? [SOLVED]

Recently, I needed to assign KeySyms to the non-standard keys via xmodmap.

There was the following problem with that: I didn't know where to take up-to-date list of Keysyms? It used to be in the /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB, before, but now there isn't such file.

It seems that X.Org guys removed this file intentinally, as redundant one, in accordance to this link: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/li … bd2a2b99d5

... though, the comments to the patch do not explain what to use instead...

Does anybody know where Keysyms list migrated to?

UPDATE: this file lists KeySyms as well: /usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h

Post's a bit older, but I ran into this as well.
An alternative may be found in /usr/include/X11/XF86keysym.h
