Never mind.  I misremembered Brad's message on this issue, and your results
(needing the above files for 2.6.x) are consistent with what he said.

How about cmake/modules/language_support/cmake-2.6/Platform/Windows-df.cmake?

There is a file of that name in CMake (donated by you long ago?) that is
identical between 2.6.0 and 2.8.1-RC3 (and presumably every version
between), but which is different from the PLplot version.  If the PLplot
version is better, should that revised version of Windows-df.cmake be
submitted to CMake to be released as 2.8.1 so we can (eventually) drop our
own version of that file?
