[Plplot-devel] Missing pyqtconfig module issue should now be fixed

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

Hi Arjen:

You reported some time ago that the deprecated pyqtconfig module
was not available on the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform.  Since
that deficiency is obviously likely to spread to other platforms
as well, I have now (commit b3ef719) updated our pyqt-related CMake logic
to replace the pyqtconfig approach with our own approach for
finding PYQT_SIP_DIR, the directory whose subdirectories contain
all PyQT *.sip files.

I am pretty sure this new pyqt-related CMake logic will work OK for
you now on MinGW-w64/MSYS2, but if not, please let me know what
PYQT_SIP_DIR value you needed to specify to work around this issue so
I can improve those HINTS for the PyQt4 case for finding that
directory prefix on MinGW-w64/MSYS2.

Similarly, if on MSVC you have installed a third-party binary package
that supplies PyQT4, then I think the present code is likely to
work, but if not I would appreciate your PYQT_SIP_DIR feedback for that
platform as well so I can improve our HINTS for the PyQt4 case.

And similarly for PyQt5 on both platforms.

For the Cygwin case I already know from using their file-location GUI
that I have the correct HINTS for both PyQt4 and PyQt5.
