Default viewport panning shortcuts on OS X

Description

2.4x used to map viewport panning to Ctrl-Shift-numpad 2/4/6/8 to avoid collision with OS X Spaces shortcuts. 2.5 builds use the same Ctrl-numpad for all platforms. I can remap locally, but would be nice to adjust defaults for OS X

The fact it worked in 2.4 was an accident really; the shortcuts were not tested for a complete match, so any additional shift+numpad modifier key works fine there.
This was also to allow windows to work (which fails on shift+numpad). This has been fixed for Windows on lowest code level (in windows wrappers).

The Mac OSX default has several conflicts with Blender though; you have to set middle mouse to map to middle mouse, and i usually apply Fkeys different too.

I've added notes in our todo list for it, it would be best to first gather for all platforms all exceptions to check on the best defaults first.
