Given that the libraries in question are in the standard c and C++

commenting out the checks for these two libraries.
The result is that wingcc is accepted onto the driver list, appears in
my plplot VC++ project, everything builds correctly and I can run the
examples and select the wingcc device and everything runs fine.
Given that this is the case is there even a need to check for these
libraries? Or is this test needed for Cygwin or minGW builds?
The present library finding has "just worked" for a long time for a
large variety of Windows users on many different Windows platforms so
I am somewhat reluctant to change it. On the other hand, I guess it
is possible if you don't need it, then nobody needs it, but I am not
at all sure about that. So before making any decisions here, I think
we need to collect more information. For example, I would like you to
try 3.9.4 (see other thread concerning CMake versions) to see if this
particular problem persists (and also to determine whether CMake-3.9.4
satisfies all PLplot build-system needs for your Windows SDK version.)
