Ah, yes, that stuff was in a separate library.

We have Qt4 on Cygwin. Just a few minor oddities: - The X Window device is extraordinarily slow - normally the four plots of example 1 are shown immediately, but now I saw each line segment being drawn. I do not know where this coming from. - The extqt device caused a segmentation fault after printing the message that you need to call plsetqtdev() before plinit(). I have no idea what this external device is, I assumed it would be X Window. I can not check Andrew's update for the cairo device (the DISPLAY name) yet, as I had to turn that off. If I turn off the dynamic drivers that ought to be okay again.
