Thank you for your help and yes, I did get it working using your
instructions above.  Guess I only tried combinations where I did one
thing in my LaTeX file and then the CMakeLists.txt file undid it -- so
I never got it correct!

The "downside" is that inside my latex source directory, there is a
copy of my figures in PDF format -- but I can live with that or just
use the "safepdf" option.  Thank you for updating the module and sorry
again for the delay in my reply -- must check my spam folder more
often...
