Hi Arjen:

I agree with your conclusions about the the clean nature of these
results for the largest number of PLplot components tested on Cygwin
so far.  My thanks for your essential help in achieving this high
point for Cygwin!

That said, your report does indicate there is still one noninteractive issue
that we should deal with for this release cycle, and my apologies for
missing it until now. Your latest result uses

cmake_added_options=-DENABLE_octave=OFF -DENABLE_ada=OFF

to workaround some build system issues on the Cygwin platform.
-DENABLE_octave=OFF is something you adopted on June 3rd after installing the
final Octave-related Cygwin package that was required.  Your comment
back then was

-        Allowing Octave gave Cmake errors about two versus four
arguments. I turned that off.

As far as I know we never followed up further on this build-system
issue for configuring the Octave binding of PLplot, but I would like
to do that now.

So when you get a change could you run the script again
without -DENABLE_octave=OFF so I can diagnose (and hopefully fix) this
issue?

I believe this issue will be the last noninteractive one I will
attempt to deal with for the Cygwin platform in this release cycle.
Of course, you also use -DENABLE_ada=OFF to workaround the well-known
Ada language support issue on Cygwin, but I expect you will be
continuing with that workaround indefinitely because it is likely I
will only be able to deal with this issue some time after the planned
5.11.1 release.
