Here's a new spkg:
-
[http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/palmieri/SPKG/kash3-2008-07-31.p0.spkg]
This installs for me on sage.math and on an OS X box.

Comment:
I've posted a link to a new spkg, along with the patch used to create it.
I have a feeling that it could use more work, but since it's an optional
package for software which is 3 years old, I'm not sure if it's worth it.
I also have a feeling that it shouldn't be an optional package, but rather
an experimental one: since it only installs on OS X and linux, that's not
enough platforms for a good optional package. But that change should be
discussed elsewhere...
