Steven,
I seem to be having a problem with $(libraries) because it hasn't been tokenized into a list, and is still all one string. 
So the set manipulation (like set.difference) isn't working.
I've been searching around and I can find explicit tokenization function? 
So suspect there is some simple syntax I've missed?

Many thanks,

Brian
