Hi Arjen: That is excellent news indeed. I think that Cygwin is an important platform for us so I am glad you are maintaining PLplot on that platform, and once the current Tcl issue you are dealing with are fixed, I encourage you to expand your Cygwin testing to include wxwidgets, Qt4, and pango/cairo (all of which can be installed as part of Cygwin with their automatic installer, IIRC) to make it consistent with what should eventually be available with build_projects for the MinGW suite of compilers. As you know, I cannot currently help you out with Cygwin testing of PLplot because of a Cygwin-related bug in Wine that is a complete showstopper. However, there is considerable interest in the Cygwin platform on the Wine developers list so there is some hope they will fix that bug, and if/when that occurs I should be able to give you some help with your PLplot maintenance and testing on the Cygwin platform.
