For the moment at least I prefer to use the current CTest approach - it may be slower than possible, but it is working (for most languages I can look at anyway) for all four Windows platform flavours I have. I will test the new way of dealing with the examples and will let you know how that goes. (A smooth way of dealing with the PLplot libraries on Windows would be very welcome indeed.)
