Well, I knocked off one Linux build-system inconsistency for
pkg-config which finally allows the comprehensive tests for the
epa_build environment (i.e., cmake options, environment variables,
buildtools that have been built, and dependencies that have been
built) to finish for the shared library case today. However, there are
still problems for the non-dynamic device drivers (where the Tcl/Tk
bindings and devices get embedded into libplplotd, but the Tcl/Tk8.6
libraries installed in a special location cannot be found for the
installed version of that library because of rpath issues).  And the
static case and the whole MinGW/MSYS/Wine platform currently remain
untested for the epa_build environment.

So the release continues to be delayed by issues I have been
discovering as a result of trying comprehensive testing for the
epa_build environment.
