We had this discussion already: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4567655A.7000101%40iap.tuwien.ac.at&forum_name=plplot-devel We were (at least) partly successful using one of the bash executables available for Windows (or sh executables, can't remember). You shouldn't use sh.exe since then CMake assumes you are using the MSYS enviroment. In addition to bash/sh you also need some unix tools ported to Windows, which I think you'll find at gnuwin32.sf.net - in comparison to other toolsets available is this project still being worked on, and works very well - I use it all the time. You need to install them, but there will be only a handful of persons who want to test on Windows anyway .... And I agree to Alan, it's better to use the existing solution and modify it a little bit so that it works on Windows with bash.exe and gnuwin32 tools as well, as trying to write a Windows batch file - the latter one is really limited I tried to code something in the last months and it's really a PIA. Better alternative is kixtart, which is also easy to install, but still we would need to do the work twice.
