Thanks Aaron for that report:

The only quibble with your report that I have is it should be directed
to plplot-general so I have done that in this reply.

Someone else found the same missing lround build issue for
MSVC 2012 which we have literally just now (commit id 0bfe721) worked
around with a placeholder.  (This is allowed because plmetafile.c is
completely experimental code which is currently unused except for one
new test application, and plmetafile.c will likely have a lot of
revision post-release just where lround was used in any case.)

Anyhow, try master tip again.  Also, for all those here trying the git
version, I highly recommend you sign up for our git feed which gives
you e-mail notification of our git changes.  To do that, log into
SourceForge (essential) and click on the feed signup button you will
find at <https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/ci/master/tree/>.
