Dear Timothée,

thanks for the hint.  I've installed pkg-config, but the problem still 
remains (BTW "type -a pkg-config" shows "pkg-config is 
/usr/local/bin/pkg-config"):

checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... g++ -E
./configure: line 13465: syntax error near unexpected token `CAIRO,'
./configure: line 13465: `    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(CAIRO, cairo >= 0.9.0,'

Also the previous prepare shows the problem Jürgen already reported:

configure.in:243: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_MSG_WARN
       If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow.
       See the Autoconf documentation.

I start to think, that the autoconf/automake-and-so-on-installation is 
somehow broken in cygwin or gnuplot uses some tricks and tweaks which 
would need special handling for cygwin.

PS: perhaps somebody could post the lines in question of the configure 
script so I could compare my broken and a working version!?
