reprted a bug to them because CMake never found the 64 bit version of
wxWidgets and always gave the 32 bit version. Unfortunately it seems
that their fix actually causes CMake to always find the 64 bit version
even when I'm using the 32 bit generator.

actually get PL_HAVE_FREETYPE set to ON, however FREETYPE_INCLUDE_DIR
is empty and therefore when I try to compile Plplot I get a "cannot
find include file" type error. I will keep playing to see if there is
anything obvious I am missing.

Hi Phil:

I assume you solved the above issues so the find modules for wxWidgets
and Freetype that you subsequently committed to cmake/modules are now
both working reasonably well for the (Windows?) platforms you tested.

I just did a fairly extensive test of PLplot on Linux in connection
with my recent work on the Python and Octave help strings.  That test
consisted of running the test_noninteractive and test_interactive
targets for both the build tree and installed examples tree.  All was
well showing as a side effect that the new versions of the find
modules for wxWidgets and Freetype that you committed are also working
well for my Debian stable platform with version 2.8.12 of wxwidgets
and version 2.4.9 of freetype.

In other words, your first two commits appear to have been a complete
success.  :-)
