I already have a few small questions. First language bindings: Currently
the following are disabled:

ENABLE_ada:             OFF
ENABLE_d:               OFF
ENABLE_octave:          OFF
ENABLE_pdl:             OFF
ENABLE_pyqt5:           OFF

Would it be useful to (re-)enable any of them? And what would I need to
add as dependencies then?

Then, there is one remaining patch that may be interesting for you
(attached). I have however no idea about it; it is a remnant from the
past. Could you give me a hint whether it is needed for me or for you?

Another point is that TCLDIR is currently set to
/usr/share/plplot5.12.0/tcl, which is not in the package path for
Tcl/Tk. Is there a way to change this to something like
/usr/share/tcltk/plplot5.12.0 [1] with a cmake option so that I
don't need a patch here?
