Yes, it did work. I accidentally used the wrong MinGW-w64/MSYS2 installation and got Python 2 instead of 3 and that revealed that for Python 2 the SIP subdirectory is "Py2-Qt4" instead of "PyQt4", but after persuading CMake to use that directory, it all worked fine. I had to kill the comprehensive tests, as they were taking too long, but what I did have was encouraging (see tar file).

Not done this yet.

My earlier problems with the SIP executable not being found were due to a missing package it seems - PyQt4 development stuff. With this I could build PLplot for this platform with PyQt4 support.
