Opinions?
FWIW, I've created and tested a patch for 3a. It turns out that directly accessing NXArgc from a library is not possible, but there is a function... int * _NSGetArgc() ...declared in /usr/include/crt_externs.h that can be used to get a pointer to the global argc. If anyone wants the patch, let me know. Is it generally OK to send patches to plplot-devel or should I send them to a different list or should I send them off-list to a committer or should I ...? If someone wants to try doing 3b, I think it would be great, but my cmake skills are not up to that task (yet).
