I know that there is a lot to say about the myriad of Linux distributions,
but they do provide a single point where you can find source and binary
packages. For Windows there is no such equivalent. Hence the need for a
project like PLplot to supply at least a minimum of (optional) 3rd party
packages - not everybody likes to hunt them down themselves.
