I don't have direct experience with MinGW (no access), and the PLplot MinGW
testers have not tried Ada on that platform yet.  So you are doing important
MinGW/CMake/Ada pioneering work here.

My understanding is there is a big CMake distinction between MinGW (only)
and MinGW/MSYS (MinGW with a shell and other goodies).  So you may have
found an issue with my Cmake Ada modules for the MinGW (only) case.  If/when
you figure out how my modules should be changed for either/both the MinGW
cases, I would be happy to update them.
