Ok, I agree with you. What I have done now is assembling agg, cd, 
gdwin32, freetype, libharu and qhull in one directory and copied the 
CMakefiles into the corresponding places and wrote a small batch file, 
which compiles and installs everything in the same directory (include, 
bin, lib). To let cmake find all 6 libraries you only have to tell cmake 
to find the include and lib directory.

I would only make the source compilation downloadable as a package. I'll 
also write a small batch file for Visual C++. So it should be than as 
easy as running a batch file to make all these libraries compile (if you 
set up our compiler correctly).

The 3rd party libraries are now separate from plplot, and at least for 
mingw and Visual C++ it is very easy to create them. Makes it easier for 
developers and packagers.

When I have finished the batch file for Visual C++ I make this package 
available for testing.

Thanks,
Werner
