Thanks, Werner, for digging into this issue and finding what sounds like
a good solution.

What I find disconcerting about Arjen's error report is the lack of error
message (other than no output) when test-drv-info could not find the PLplot
library.  If I arrange that case on Linux by temporarily renaming the PLplot
library, test-drv-info generates the following useful error message:

softw...@raven> ./test-drv-info ps
./test-drv-info: error while loading shared libraries: libplplotd.so.9:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Are we stuck with the bad result that ./test-drv-info silently dies (no
error message other than no output file) for the corresponding Cygwin case
or is it possible you could fix that?
