Does anyone know if there are any examples that would drive, say a 128x64 ks0108 Glcd from PBP - seems a bit of a short coming in a 'Pro' version if there isn't .
The debate between PBP vs other compilers comes and goes...
IMO - PBP is solid, does what you want, nothing more, nothing less.
As far as driving a GLCD, there are plenty of examples here that handle GLCDs of various types (off the top of my head, 122x32, 128x64, Nokia 3100 types, Nokia color LCD from Sparkfun, 2 of which I've personally done). Same thing goes with anything else that PBP doesn't directly support. It's easy enough to add support...
Practical examples that a beginner could use? My thoughts are...and these are ONLY my thoughts...maybe a beginner shouldn't be trying to drive a GLCD, maybe a beginner should be more concerned with flashing an LED first and working up to it. After all, you don't hop into a car at 13 years old and try to hit rush hour traffic in a sports car.
