Configure Apple Wireless Keyboard for iPad with a PC??

I don't have a mac, but do have an iPad and would like to purchase the Apple Wireless Keyboard to use with it. From the system requirements info it appears that you need a mac to configure the wireless keyboard before use. Is there anyway to get around this with a PC? I've read on several different sites on how to pair the wireless keyboard with a PC, but I wanted to double check that I will be able to use the keyboard with the iPad if I do this.

How to remap caps-lock and control keys on the wireless keyboard when used with the iPad?

I dislike the position of the control key and finds the caps-lock key mostly useless, so the first thing I do with any keyboard on the Mac is to swap the meaning of these keys in the
OSX keyboard prefererences' modifier keys panel.

Is there a way to do the same on the iPad?
Not being able to so is pretty much a showstopper for me.

Can I use this keyboard with my PC if I have a bluetooth dongle??

I would like to upgrade to a wireless keyboard and mouse, but will soon be switching to a Mac. If I buy the keyboard now, will it work on my PC? I don't have Bluetooth, but I can buy a USB dongle and add it pretty easily right?

Apple Bluetooth keyboard---special function keys for iPad 3?

I have seen a good answer to a question about getting a list of function keys for the Apple Bluetooth keyboard---but it seems to address only using the keyboard with a Mac (laptop). Is there a list of special function keys that work with an iPad 3? I am particularly interested in which special function keys (if any) there are that work with an iPad 3 that one could not find on a non-Apple keyboard (such as a Motorola wireless keyboard, that works fine with entering text such as letters, numbers, and symbols). In other words what---in terms of function or navigation keys---makes the Apple Bluetooth keyboard better than other Bluetooth keyboards?

Why does't the iPad's great auto correct/suggest features work when using the Mac wireless keyboard? Huge disappointment.

I am using the current version of ios 5 and the current version of the wireless keyboard.

Thanks
