Hi David Integrating wxWidgets into PLplot should be as simple as defining the WXWIN system variable before running cmake. Cmake should see that and automagically find wxWidgets and build that backend for the library along with the example. Where things may get complicated is matching the library settings for Unicode, static vs dynamic runtimes and debug vs release builds. I'm not sure if these only need matching for static libraries or if dlls need these matching too. If you have any trouble just drop us an email.
