Hi Alan,

   Thank you very much for this info! I really missed the existence of 
`gnustep-config'. If the plplot CMake scripts already implement 
something similar for wxWidgets, I could try to copy these settings and 
adapt them for GNUstep.

I will inform the list about my progresses.

Thank you very much again,
   Maurizio.
