Does Ck's custom S4 cgminer build located here: http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s4/4.6.1-141018/cgminer still need the difficulty manually set on the pools?
No it doesn't, that was one of the major fixes that went into it.

Ironic, then, that your build (141018) is dated two days after the timestamp on their latest, long-awaited firmware release: initramfs.bin.SD-20141016.tar.gz which, although timestamped October 16, was not actually released until the 27th...

I wonder if they *knew* the firmware that took them two weeks to package, and two more to test and release, was already obsolete, but chose to release it anyway, or if they're just that clueless...  Wait, no.  I don't actually wonder that at all -- I'm pretty sure I know!
