Sergey,

Yes, it's in /etc/X11.

If I remember correctly XkbVariant option "winkyes" enables Windows keys.

So you can add the line:
 Option       "XkbVariant" "winkeys"

at the end of InputDevice section.

In my current version I have
 Option       "XkbRules" "xfree86"
 Option       "XkbVariant" "xfree86"

And it enables both Windows keys and some additional keys (like volume
up/down, power off).

As for Alt-Shift, the option would be:

 Option       "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"

You can also specify whether you want only left or right ALT-SHIFT to
switch layout.

I never remember exact format. I usually do it from SaX2 and then edit
it to get exactly what I want.
