Not so sure about the "MSYS" bit. Alan, did you really mean to recommend 
MSYS ?

The MINGW installation advice at
http://www.miscdebris.net/plplot_wiki/index.php?title=Configure_PLplot_for_MinGW/CLI

states (regarding MSYS):

"The MSYS command window (rxvt) is somewhat awkward to use with an 
interactive program. It buffers the output, so that the question what device 
you want (as printed by plinit()) appears only after you have given an 
answer. The net effect is that the program appears to hang. It is easier to 
use an ordinary DOS-box."

Assuming that to be the case, I've always used cmake/mingw in the Windows 
cmd.exe shell to build plplot - where it all works well.
I'm a bit doubtful that there's something to be gained (and nothing to be 
lost) by using msys.
(However, I haven't actually tried using MSYS.)

Cheers,
Rob
