I figured it out; one can create a dir and a file in it with the
following syntax:

/* to be placed into the (created) directory /Users/apitzm/Library/KeyBindings as file DefaultKeyBinding.dict */

{
"~q"  = ("insertText:", "@");
"~a"  = ("insertText:", "á");
"~A"  = ("insertText:", "Á");
"~e"  = ("insertText:", "é");
"~E"  = ("insertText:", "É");
"~i"  = ("insertText:", "í");
"~I"  = ("insertText:", "Í");
"~o"  = ("insertText:", "ó");
"~O"  = ("insertText:", "Ó");
"~?"  = ("insertText:", "¿");
"~!"  = ("insertText:", "¡");
"~<"  = ("insertText:", "«");
"~>"  = ("insertText:", "»");

"~m"  = ("insertText:", "ñ");   /* ñ not working , why? */
"~M"  = ("insertText:", "Ñ");   /* Ñ not working , why? */
}

Only two keys are currently not working as expected, but I use the 'm' 
key + option-key to get ñ :-)
