Orange Pixel - Softkey buttons

A generic solution to softkey buttons on most populair phone models. Tried and tested on nokia,sony,siemens, samsung and motorola phones.
One of the problems for cross-phone code are the softkey codes, although with most midp2 phones there seems to be an attempt at using a standard value, but there is still a long way to go.
Since we don't like having many different ports just for small things like different keycodes, a generic softkey code would be perfect but is also hard to implenent without breaking things on certain phones. An attempt at this generic code is available below, it is tested on nokia,sony,siemens,motorola and samsung phones.
If you have any add-ons, or fixes to this code then please let me know, the ifdef for nokia phones can be removed but it's there cause I personally use special builds for nokia fullcanvas usage.
