Do we really support kcl at all anymore?  I think kcl has been mostly
replaced by gcl.

I think all the kcl conditionals should be removed.  If that's the case,
it's best to do that on a separate branch so that they all get removed
together without other changes getting mixed in.  It makes figuring out
what happened easier and git bisect easier too.
