The tarball shows a limited but otherwise perfect result. Hi Arjen: Thanks for fixing that issue and also for the perfect "MSYS Makefiles" report for the noninteractive case. While I am working on the octave issue you turned up for Cygwin, would you be willing also to run the script in the noninteractive mode (since that is so easy compared to interactive comprehensive tests) for one other platform as well? In particular it would be great to see your noninteractive comprehensive test results for the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform. The reason I am keen that we support this platform (however, _only_ the vanilla version you get by running the MSYS2 install documented at <http://sourceforge.net/p/msys2/wiki/Home/>) is because MSYS2 has a very large and also rapidly growing popularity, automatically delivers the same PLplot prerequisites that are available from Cygwin, automatically delivers all the platform bug fixes (e.g., parallel builds are possible!) that are made for Cygwin, and (like MSYS) does not have the Cygwin baggage (our libraries and applications will be built natively, i.e., with no link to a big dll such as cygwin.dll). Therefore, I hope you are willing to run the comprehensive test script for this platform not only to potentially help Walt but potentially many others as well who are keen on this platform.
