Still works in Snow Leopard. If you are unsure about which plist to edit, you can change the setting in the Keyboard preference panel. This will update the plist file so you can just select the most recent one. Also notice that there are now arrays for each keyboard your Mac has been used with. To be sure, make the changes to each of them. In my scenario, I wanted a separate meta key for Terminal (I want the symbols option and shift-option produces in addition to meta functionality). I have "always" had caps lock as a control key. To accomplist the meta key task, I first mapped the left ctrl key (has been useless before) mapped to "keypad 0" (code 5). Then I edited my custom keyboard layout (.keylayout) file with Ukelele:

• I created a new dead key map for "keypad 0".
• Then, for each key in the dead key map, I added  (ESC) plus the key itself
• For instance, the dead key for "a" is configured as a (ESC + A)

This allows the ex-ctrl to be used as a better meta key, no Keyboard Maestro needed.
