I've made some progress with this. There are a couple of things that were (and
still are) causing trouble
1) My WXWIN system variable was incorrect and pointed to a non-existent
wxWidgets-2.9.4 directory. I'm not sure if I previously had installed then
removed 2.9.4 or if wxWidgets-3.0.0 generates the wrong system variable. You
can check it at the command prompt by entering
echo %WXWIN%
and if it is incorrect then use
setx WXWIN path\to\my\wxwidgets
which will permanently correct it. Note that capitalisation probably matters as
CMAKE needs correct capitalisation for paths.
2) The patch I mentioned before is probably needed - I haven't tried without
3) CMAKE cannot find the 64 bit version of wxWidgets (which is what I was
trying to build). Even worse, if you have both 32 bit and 64 bit wxWidgets
libraries installed it will incorrectly find the 32 bit libraries for the 64
bit build, which I'm sure will cause huge, difficult to find linker problems
later down the line.
My CMAKE isn't up to much, but I might be able to write a patch for the 64 bit
problem and I'll pass this to CMAKE if I do, as well as publishing it on this
list.
Once I have this all fixed I will edit the wiki

I've just attempted my first build of Plplot with wxWidgets 3.0 too. This is on
Windows and I can confirm that the latest version of CMake does not find the
wxWidgets 3.0 install. In my case I only have 3.0 installed as this is on a
fresh install of Windows 8 and the wxWidgets bindings are simply disabled due
to not finding the libraries.
I found this bug report and patch
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/bug_relationship_graph.php?bug_id=14587&graph=relation.
But manually applying the changes to findwxWidgets.cmake doesn't seem to help.
Unfortunately one of the replies in the bug report indicates that nobody is
maintaining the wxWidgets module.
In response to Werner's post, wxWidgets 3.0 is incredibly simple to set up on
Windows. The binary install creates a visual studio project which builds out of
the box, with both 32 and 64 bit options. The only config change I made was to
enable the wxPostscriptDC.
