The Microsoft webpage that explains how to do this in XP is:
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/perspectives/polytonic.mspx

It basically works, though the different placement of the keys
takes a little getting used to.  Previously, I was using Keyman
with some freebie keyboard layout that was really strange and
frustrating, esp. in that /h/ was used for rough breathings and
/j/ for eta.  I never got over that.
