[PIC] PIC18Fx5K22..Cannot get a a single pin PWM CCP1 RC2 to work

[Hoffman]

Despite reading the spec sheet (and especially section 14.13.2) and although carefully following the steps, I cannot seem to get CCP1 pin RC2 to output a PWM signal.

All though there are many possible complex PWM bridge output configurations, I would really like to know how many single-output simple PWM's are possible.

My code attempt to get CCP1 RC2 TMR4 to work:
----------------------
I can see with the initialization below that TMR4 is counting and overlowing, but RC2 pin stays always at Vss.
