Will do - as my experiment with Cmake built from sources indicates, it is a
Cygwin-specific bug.

Correct, but that is because of confusion between various utilities called
"find.exe".

I used CMake version 3.8.1, built from sources, and that did work. One problem:
no plplot.pc file, so I could not build the examples. These files are not
installed. I will have to look into this.
