Just to be clear, they don't actually get the plplot C library, but they do get a fully functional PDL::Graphics::PLplot. (I think you knew that.) Speaking of plplot, there's probably one or two other little traps to be aware of. I haven't tested yet, but I expect the "standalone distro" would need to include copies of the font (and perhaps some other) files that are installed into share/plplot-x.x.x. And then, it might be necessary for the user to set the PLPLOT_LIB env var so that those files can be found. (Of course, that applies irrespective of whether plplot is a static or a shared lib.)
