Never mind.  I just now found
<https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2014-09/msg00327.html> where the same
issue Greg had with importing numpy was encountered, and the solution
was to put /usr/lib/lapack on the PATH.  And I also just now
discovered this essential bit of Cygwin Python/numpy lore is also
documented in <http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Setup_cygwin>.  I
have now clarified that wording a bit. Nevertheless, Greg and I both
could have saved several days tussling with this if we had remembered
to read the relevant PLplot documentation.  Oh well, humbled again!
