Having said that, I tried (for the first time, I think) building 
plplot-5.9.6 without the
'-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF' option.

After copying the relevant dll's and the entire contents of the 'data' 
directory to 'dynbuild/examples/c' when I try to execute one of the demo 
executables I get (eg) :

###############################
C:\_32\comp\plplot-5.9.6\dynbuild\examples\c>x29c.exe

Plotting Options:
 < 1> wingcc     Win32 (GCC)
 < 2> ps         PostScript File (monochrome)
 < 3> psc        PostScript File (color)
 < 4> xfig       Fig file
 < 5> null       Null device
 < 6> mem        User-supplied memory device
 < 7> svg        Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG 1.1)
 < 8> pdfcairo   Cairo PDF Driver
 < 9> pscairo    Cairo PS Driver
 <10> svgcairo   Cairo SVG Driver
 <11> pngcairo   Cairo PNG Driver
 <12> extcairo   Cairo External Context Driver
 <13> wincairo   Cairo Microscoft Windows Driver

Enter device number or keyword: 1
Unable to load driver: wingcc.

*** PLPLOT ERROR, IMMEDIATE EXIT ***
Unable to load driver
Program aborted

###############################

It doesn't matter which device I select, I get (essentially) the same "*** 
PLPLOT ERROR, IMMEDIATE EXIT ***" error.

What needs to be done here ?

Note: This is not such a big deal for me (though I'm curious to know what 
has gone wrong). The important thing is that I can still get the same 
"Plotting Options" with a *static* plplot build, so long as the Gtk+ dll's 
are found.

Cheers,
Rob
