Hi Alan, I have changed config.h.cmake and cmake/modules/drivers-init.cmake in the CVS version of PLplot.

I have two updates for the PLplot web page. The LaTeX drivers are mentioned twice in the front page but they are disabled in the latest stable release. Also the reference to PLplot Debian packages in resources/index.html can be updated. There is PLplot 5.3.1 in Debian Sarge and 5.6.1 in Etch and Sid.
