I tried to build PLplot for Tcl 8.4 under MingW (with the intent to move on to Tcl 8.5 if all went well), just to see what would happen (and to have access to the generated source code for inspection). In previous attempts - with Cygwin at least - there was all manner of problems, due to the incorrect indication of the particular platform. But with MingW building worked smoothly. I have not yet tested the build yet, did not have time. But this is encouraging!
