Thanks Eli.

I tried this patch, but there was an error reading the kkcrc file. The file-local
property line is missing a comment at the beginning. See if the attached patch
works. (I also split up the string formatting to make it more readable to me, but
feel free to change it back if you prefer a single function call.)

Cheers.
