Only the discussion is related.
The patch includes an option to map Apple key as a modifier:
"It also includes a new option altwin:alt_win which puts alt on the windows keys. The window key is actually the apple key for the macbook of course, but its the key next to the spacebar where i'm used to alt being."
This is just the patch submitter's personal habit.
It actually doesn't fix the real problem that is
1) Macbook keyboards use left alt as a third lever chooser (on OSX and physically)
2) Only right alt is mapped as third lever chooser when Macbook layout is selected). Since this key is not physically present, one cannot type third level characters.
