Hello, Shuah!

A minor problem here is a version with KSFT_ constants won't even compile
without your patch, which redefines KSFT_SKIP into a separate value,
due to duplicate cases in the switch statement at the end of the file.

Anyway, not a big deal, we can handle it either way.
An updated version below.

Thanks!
