Thanks, Arjen, for testing all the Windows platform accessible to you. I
plan to implement a table in README.release that summarizes test results and
which also gives you (and anybody else that does such tests) proper credit
for this work.

What tests are you doing for each platform?  The possibilities are just a 
build test; ctest (for build tree); test_noninteractive for build tree;
test_noninteractive for install tree; test_interactive for build tree; and
test_interactive for install tree.  I am not sure anybody has yet tried
the test_interactive target for Windows so it may not work, but if ctest
works, then the test_noninteractive target should work as well (although
I would like that prediction to be tested).

It's good to start with the current svn trunk version of PLplot, but once
you are completely satisfied with the results on CMake-2.6, aren't there
some files made redundant by CMake-2.6.x (everything not related to the
Compaq compiler?) in cmake/modules/language_support/cmake-2.6/Platform that
you can remove? If so, please do that removal, double-check with a final set
of complete CMake-2.6 tests, and commit the removal.

I thought you had already made a good test of the Compaq compiler with the
cvs version of CMake.  So is there some file you forgot to put into
cmake/modules/language_support/cmake-2.8/Platform?

Assuming that is the case, do test that file on your local computer, but
please don't commit it to our svn trunk version since ideally you would like
CMake to carry this file rather than us. So after your tests, you should ask
Brad to put this file into the CVS version of CMake and (once that is done)
also ask Bill to propagate the file from CVS to cmake-2.8.1.
