Comment (by RJVB):
I understand your reasoning with the version, but I cannot help but think
that most users don't care about the actual version number reported, if
anything possible only whether livecheck reports that it's up to date.
Note that this is a library, not an executable that reports a different
version somewhere - and that the online documentation already talks about
PortAudio 2 (fortunately they don't use a scheme where a pre-release
version has a higher number than the upcoming release version).
I'll look into it, but this is not high-priority for me. I'm not planning
on taking over maintainership.
Re: make tests: no, that doesn't actually run any tests. As I said,
neither of the make commands run their targets. I wouldn't have included
the test executables in the variant otherwise.

With all due respect, I think it's both, and very much along the lines of
the old obfuscated C jokes. It doesn't help understanding (readability) to
the casual port (Tcl) developer. It means extra work the moment you need
to do something more inside the loop.
How does it even work, `xinstall` doesn't accept multiple file arguments
to my knowledge so does the operator have an RPN aspect to it?
