Hi Aaron:

For corner cases like this one (memqt only) which we ordinarily do not
test, any build system, code, and testing help you could give us would
be much appreciated.

Once you are ready to submit your proposed changes to us, we would
prefer you do that by attaching the file that is created by the "git
format-patch" command.  That file will contain all details of each of
your commits. For more about that command and also git from the PLplot
prospective, please see README.developers.

This method of submitting changes is only a strong recommendation and
not absolutely necessary if you don't have "git format-patch"/"git am"
experience yet or prefer not to learn how to use those commands.
However, the advantage of that method of submitting your changes is it
facilitates us tweaking your changes further for you to try out (using
the "git format-patch"/"git am" combination of commands, see
README.developers). Also once your changes are finalized in
collaboration with us, you will automatically get credit for your work
when we push it to our repository master branch tip.
