Hi Arjen:

Your recent Fortran fix referred to in the subject line looks good here.  I 
tested it with

scripts/comprehensive_test.sh --cmake_added_options "-DDEFAULT_NO_DEVICES=ON 
-DPLD_ps=ON  -DDEFAULT_NO_BINDINGS=ON -DENABLE_f95=ON" --do_test_interactive no

here on Debian jessie, and the result was perfect PostScript
difference results for Fortran versus C for the 12 noninteractive
tests that are run by that script.

I have summarized that good result in the new table at
<http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_PLplot/#Fortran%20Testing%20Reports>
which is designed to keep track of simple limited Fortran test results (like 
above) of
the new Fortran binding.

As you know, after I have finally finished the current documentation update and
uploaded that result to our website I
plan to appeal to our users to test our new Fortran binding.  As part
of that appeal I will refer to the comprehensive test results we have
accumulated in the above table so if you could run similar limited
Fortran tests with the above options on your Cygwin and
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platforms, and send the report tarballs to me so I
could add your results to mine in the above table, that would be a big
immediate help.

And if after reporting those two tests to me you also could figure out
how to put Cygwin bash on your PATH and run the same comprehensive
test script (with the same limiting options) on MSVC/ifort with the
"NMAKE Makefiles" generator that would be a really worthwhile result
as well.

However, nobody has tried this theoretical possibility for
comprehensive testing of PLplot on the MSVC/ifort platform after your
unsuccessful attempt several years ago where you ran into problems
with setting the PATH for bash.  But I think you may know a lot more
about how to set the PATH now so I think this possibility is probably
worth a quick look again.

Note, one of my ToDo list items is to fix all "space in pathname" issues
for source tree, build tree, and install tree, but I haven't done that
yet so for now only use unspaced pathnames for those three trees in your
comprehensive tests.
