My computer is healthy again, comprehensive testing of PLplot
using CMake-3.3.2 on my Debian Jessie platform works fine, and there
have been no objections to the above plan.  Therefore, I have made this change (see
<http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/ci/747984161a74f785c5eade60bc9d53d43fdcbde4>).

Please let me know if you encounter any difficulties with CMake-3.3.2
on any platform accessible to you.
