That prediction was spot on, and over the last few days I have been
plugging away at all the issues that were found by that comprehensive
testing. Today I finally got a breakthrough on what had been an
intractable problem (dealing with blanks in pathnames for the Makefile
+ pkg-config traditional build system for the installed examples).

Propagating that solution from one of our libraries to the rest
requires extensive and non-trivial build-system changes that all need
to be comprehensively tested, but I think the end is finally in sight,
so I might even get this pushed by late Friday.
