So you set the stop time for the animation to be one frame before the
last key.  It's really pretty easy.

Steps to follow:
   - Copy first key(s) to end point of animation.
   - Open animation dialog
   - Set time display to frames
   - Look at frame number of last frame
   - Set end time (in animation limits) to one less than last frame
   - Render

That's really all that is done by having "cyclic" as described by you
and Ken.  Of course there is always the option of rendering all the
frames as individual images and deleting the last one (or the first
one)...
