P.S. And the same goes for development versions of the Qt4 libraries. Thus, in the limited time remaining before your holiday you might want to give the highest priority to getting the development versions of the pango/cairo libraries (for the cairo device driver) and Qt4 libraries (for the qt device driver) correctly installed on Cygwin. The cairo devices and the qt devices are a huge upgrade for all PLplot users on the Cygwin platform regardless of the computer language they use. So with some luck (i.e., assuming the only issue is the installation of the development version of those libraries) those priorities should give you some immediate positive feedback for your exploration efforts.
