Hi Irwin,
thanks for the feedback.

PLplot seems a interesting piece of software,
and I noticed it needs/looks qhull and octave, 
of whom I am the cygwin package maintainer.

Excluding the tcl/tk requirement, whose package need deep
maintenance on cygwin, PLplot build fine with WIN32=0. 
With just some quirk behaviour building the modules (*.rc),
but it could be a interference of my antivirus

There is a general test mode ? Or I should run one by one

 test-drv-info"
 test_cairo_dyndriver"
 test_dyndrivers"
 test_mem_dyndriver"
 test_null_dyndriver"
 test_ps_dyndriver"
 test_svg_dyndriver"
 test_xfig_dyndriver"
 test_xwin_dyndriver"
 
Regards
Marco
