DONE.  revision 10094.  Light testing (just a default build except for the
-DENABLE_d=ON option) shows these changes (to allow continuation of the
build if it turns out the compiler is broken/nonexistent) appear not to
introduce regressions.  My method of recovery in case of a bad compiler
(disabling the appropriate bindings/examples) normally should work. However,
my light testing was done for a platform with working Ada, C, C++, D,
Fortran, and Java compilers so my method of recovery has not actually been
tested.

Geoffrey, as a first test of recovery will you test that these changes allow
you to build PLplot without specifying -DENABLE_ada=OFF for your F11 system
which appears to have a broken Ada compiler?
