Good spotting! I have now fixed this typo with revision 10882. (I also
searched for any other occurrences of "language-support" but they all seem
to be gone now).
I believe (from Brad's message on the CMake list) that all should be well
now. Can you (and Hazen) please confirm that? I hope as a result of this
fix you will both be able to report good complete (including the
test_noninteractive and test_interactive targets) tests of MinGW for
CMake-2.6.x.

I have now found the explanation for this. In the Linux case, a CMake
system version of Platform/Linux-GNU-Fortran.cmake exists which makes it
possible (via how CMAKE_BASE_NAME is set) for the logic to find the PLplot
version of this file despite the "language-support" typo, but in the MinGW
case, no such system version of Platform/Windows-GNU-Fortran.cmake exists so
the logic only works if the typo is corrected. I encourage both you and
Hazen to follow the straightforward logic in CMakeFortranInformation.cmake
if you want to confirm my explanation for yourselves. Ultimately,
INCLUDE(Platform/${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}-${CMAKE_BASE_NAME} OPTIONAL)
includes the PLplot version of the file (_if_ CMAKE_BASE_NAME is set
correctly) because of the way CMAKE_MODULE_PATH has been set
in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file for the CMake-2.6.x case.
