Did you compile PLplot with vc++? Or did CMake use gcc instead?
It may also be part of the rules in the current CMake build system, that the
libraries are named in this - to Windows - odd fashion.

I am currently looking at CMake myself for Windows, but for some reason
I can not log on to the CVS server to get the latest sources. ("Permission
denied, please try again" - my account seems to have changed).

So, I can not yet help you there.
