[Plplot-devel] Follow ups for commit c27eff0

[Alan W. I. <ir...@be...>]

Hi Arjen:

After the release I suggest you use CMake to automate what you did for commit
c27eff0 as follows:

* Move scripts/compare.c to utils/compare.c (using "git mv") since this is code for a
utility and not a script.

* Build compare.exe using add_executable in utils/CMakeLists.txt.

* Move run_examples_windows.bat run_examples_windows.bat.in (using
"git mv") and use CMake to configure scripts/run_examples_windows.bat in the build
tree from that template file to insert the build-tree location
of compare.exe.

If you like these build and configuration ideas to automate your work,
then I emphasize you should not do anything about this now until after the
release, i.e., this is something for your post-release ToDo list.  But
since I woke up this morning with these ideas I thought I had better mention them to you
now before I forgot about them again!  :-)
