could it be that gretl chokes a little when in the .spec file of a
function package the public functions are separated by more than one space?

Working on the SVEC_GUI package, I see there was (has been forever?) a
double blank in the line:

public = GUI_SVEC GUI_plot_SVEC # line already fixed now

When using gretlcli.exe (on Windows, obviously) to build the package, I
don't get an error message, but I don't get the message "validated
successfully" either, and the resulting gfn file appears to be broken.

I tried replicating this on both Linux and Windows -- injecting extra
spaces at all points in the spec file line -- and could not trigger a
problem.
