First attempt to build a test package for Cygwin:

make[1]: Entering directory '/mnt/share/cygpkgs/gnuplot/gnuplot.x86_64/build/all/docs'
/bin/sh '/mnt/share/cygpkgs/gnuplot/gnuplot.x86_64/src/gnuplot-6.0.rc1/missing' makeinfo -I/mnt/share/cygpkgs/gnuplot/gnuplot.x86_64/src/gnuplot-6.0.rc1/docs gnuplot.texi --no-split --output=gnuplot.info
gnuplot.texi:13439: warning: @ref should not appear in @uref
gnuplot.texi:1952: @menu reference to nonexistent node `_int_floor_ceil_round::
'
make[1]: [Makefile:1260: gnuplot.info] Error 1 (ignored)

The actual culprit is an attempt to make an index node named
integer_conversion_functions:_int_floor_ceil_round, which contains the
illegal character ':'.  Changing the node name fixes the problem, for
instance with the following patch:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
--- origsrc/gnuplot-6.0.rc1/docs/gnuplot.doc
+++ src/gnuplot-6.0.rc1/docs/gnuplot.doc
@@ -2256,7 +2256,7 @@
  See `splot voxel-grids`, `vgrid`.
 @end table
 
-4 integer conversion functions: int floor ceil round
+4 integer conversion functions (int floor ceil round)
 ?integer conversion
 ?integer
 ?precision
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Building the documentation then fails (apparently in ja/docs) because
gpinsetfigure.tex can not be found.  Manually building the documentation
again has trouble with figure_E0 even though it's present in the
directory and other figures do not present that problem.  Removing the
output files then running the productions again succeeds, so there is
some problem with the dependencies most likely.

Achim.
