That's excellent news to hear.  Thanks for hanging in there with me as we
figured out the install tree xtk?? examples build problem.  Tomorrow, I will
use the same "Apple" method to transform the data for the remaining *.pc
files that we configure.  It shouldn't make much difference to the result of
the current install-tree builds on Mac OS X, but it will make those builds
substantially cleaner and allow framework libraries to be used in future for
other libraries that PLplot depends on just like they currently are used for
the Tcl and Tk libraries.

ctest in the build tree and ./plplot-test.sh in the install tree only tests
the tcl interface.  So that leaves an interesting question.... Now that you
have built xtk01, etc., in the installed examples/tk directory can you run
those executables following the directions in examples/tk/README.tkdemos?
Also, can you run any of the examples in examples/c using -dev tk?

Assuming the answers to these questions are "yes", that leaves only one
major release blocker (a new script for creating the tarball with
cmake/cpack and teaching our CBS to use the prebuilds from that tarball)
which I am still working on.  Also, I do want to provide some of the
fine-tuning of install locations that I discussed on list before.  But it
shouldn't take too many more days for me to finish up.
