Andrew, this works well on Ubuntu 16.04 and is very good to have. I will check it into GIT next time I boot the desktop.
Start of "RANT"
*****************
And now for a "rant" -- I am disgusted by the developers/maintainers of these type of libraries. Are they so unable to "make" these libraries with the current set of directions that they need to change "cmake" again and again? What in the world are they adding to "make" it so that older operating systems can no longer compile their library. Are they that inept and non-versatile?
