That seems fine (although I have a personal preference for more unique
install prefixes like /usr/local/plplot which makes your plplot install much
easier to remove.)

The simplest thing to do is to use the cvs version of PLplot.  I have
recently (just after 5.7.2 was released) made a substantial improvement
that makes it much easier for cmake to find swig.  All it needs is
swig in the PATH, and apparently that is what you have so it should work.
It works fine for me, but let me know if you have any problems with it.
