setkeycodes has a bug that causes it to skip the last scancode/keycode
pair specified on the command line.  One obvious example is that the
man page example:
 $ setkeycodes e06f 112

Will not won't work.  Perhaps more insidious, a longer sequence will
*seem* to work, except that the very last scancode will not get set.

Please find enclosed a patch to correct this, and to add a "-v" verbosity
option.  Patch can also be had from:
