Thanks for the clarification!  Much appreciated.

Efraim, I incorporated most of your suggestions, but the Tox test
suite remains disabled with a "FIXME" above it because it requires a

pytest package causes breakage.  That's a task for another day!

Pushed everything, sans the redundant python-wheel patch.  Thanks!
