Shane Lacy Hensley wrote for Eden's Army of Darkness game, so I'm sure you're already forgiven for going astray.

fair enough. however, conan with all be KO-NAN to me. in my mind it suits him better. its proud and bash, not unlike the man himself
-
Howard specifically notes that the Hyborian-Age Cimmerians were the ancestors of the Gaels and the Highland Scotch in "The Hyborian Age" essay. Novalyne Price Ellis confirms Howard's pronunciation of Conan in her memoirs, "One Who Walked Alone."
I agree there's a lot of Hiberno-centrism running about, but this is a case where it's not totally misguided.

thats not true at all. romans referred to all tribal civilizations as 'celtic' and the word by definition conjures more galeic than hybernian references. his cimmerian people were more closely modeled after early scottish and welsh barbarism. of course theres been an enormous in-flux of irrational irish tribalism and you see folks trying to lay claim to everything.

Clive Barker's Undying - 2001.
"Red Shadows", first Solomon Kane story - 1928.
Conan is pronounced the Irish way. That's how the Irish pronounce it, that's how Howard pronounced it... that's how it's pronounced. i.e., Cawn-n'n, not Koe-nahn.
As for Solomon Kane being a "prototype" for Conan: not seeing it. They're both though-as-nails warriors who wander the earth with black hair, and that's really all they share. Cormac Fitzgeoffrey and Kull are more like Conan than Kane is.
-
well the world was created a bit earlier than Clive Baker.
-
he pronounced the Barbarians name correctly
....

reminds me about Clive Barker's Undying. Kinda

Go with Savage Worlds.
You don't need anything else except maybe a history book.
The Savage Worlds core book does pulp with zero modification needed. But if you want some really good ideas, buy the Savage Worlds Pulp tool kits available as pdf files from RPGnow dot com.
The Savage Worlds message boards are full of free support for any rpg setting you could imagine!

Cthulhu would fit nicely /w Solomon Kane as Howard and Lovecraft were friends and would insert/mix beings and monsters in thier various stories.
Example (REH): In one of the "Pheonix and The Sword" drafts, Epemetrius' Tomb had statues of Cthulhu and other Old Ones.
HPL Example: I can remember which tale, but in one of them a 20's-30's era protagonist communicated /w a War Chief from Cimmeria and various other beings from other times and planets past and present via dreaming.
