+* Arjen Markus ran a fairly comprehensive test (i.e., for the shared
+library/dynamic drivers case use the test_noninteractive target) for a
+incomplete system build environment (the Ada, D, itcl/itk, Lua, ocaml,
+octave, Java, and wxwidgets components of PLplot were dropped) on
+64-bit Cygwin with gcc-4.8.2.  That platform was installed on top of
+64-bit Windows 7, service pack 1 for AMD-64 hardware.  Java and
+wxwidgets were dropped because of build errors for those on Cygwin
+that have not been resolved yet.  The remaining components were
+dropped due to lack of time to investigate them so far.  There was
+close to complete success with the qt amd cairo (asided from wincairo)
+device drivers which is an excellent Windows result since those
+device drivers add a lot of important capability to PLplot.

+* Arjen Markus ran build tests and limited run-time tests (checking by
+hand that some components of PLplot worked) for the shared
+libraries/dynamic devices case for a limited build environment (the
+qt, cairo, wxwidgets, pdf and the components mentioned above of PLplot
+were dropped except for Java which was included in this test) on
+32-bit MinGW.  That platform was installed on top of 64-bit Windows 7,
+service pack 1 for AMD-64 hardware.  The compiler was gcc-4.7.0, the
+CMake generator was "MinGW Makefiles", and the build command was
+mingw32-make.

+Fortran 2011 compilers on 64-bit Windows 7, service pack 1 for AMD-64
