The current status is I have discovered that Werner some time ago had
submitted a CMake-based build system to libharu which resides in their
git repository but which they have not released. His build system was
much more mature than mine on the Windows side and mine was more
mature than his on the Linux side so I have now (revision 11115)
combined the two results together at cmake/external/libharu.  That
combined build system builds and installs libharu without obvious
issues on Linux. Furthermore, for appropriate CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH and
CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH PLplot's build system finds the hpdf (the actual
library name although the package is called libharu) headers and
library, and builds and tests the pdf device (using the test_c_pdf
target) that depends on libhpdf without any major issues.

I request further testing of the combined libharu build system and the
PLplot pdf device on as many platforms as possible.
