Here are some bugs and other issues I noticed while building version
5.04 (under Ubuntu Linux):

- In SConstruct, 'withMSVC' is missing parentheses in one place.

- In CsoundVST.cpp, '==' is incorrectly used instead of '=' in two
places (near csoundGetCurrentThreadId).

- It's not really clear how to configure the scons config variables.
I admit I haven't read the scons manual, but it'd be nice if this were
a little more obvious.  I ended up simply editing the code in
SConstruct, but this is surely the wrong way to do things.  What would
be nice would be something like the way 'make' works: variables at the
top of a file that can be edited, and easy override at the
command-line.

- Also in that file, multi-char constants (e.g., 'cVsT') are being
used.  These aren't portable and draw a gcc warning.  It would be
better, for example, to create the string and cast it to the
appropriate type.

- 'scons -n install' doesn't work.

- It seems like the install target isn't installing _CsoundVST.so.
Not sure exactly what's going on there.

- Shared libraries should probably be the default under Linux (as
opposed to static libs).

- PYTHON_DIR is being forced to be a system directory.  It makes
debugging a lot simpler if *everything* the install target installs
can be redirected to a custom directory.

- The current .deb file seems to be missing 'csound5gui'.

- Sometimes when I try to exit CsoundVST it gives an error "Csound
tidy up: Aborted" and doesn't exit (requiring that the program be
manually killed).  I wonder if this couldn't be changed to go ahead
and exit in this case.

Keep up the good work!
Mike
