Thanks, winson, for your continued tests and clear report of the problem you
are encountering.  I don't have any windows experience myself, but hopefully
other members of the PLplot development team with such experience can figure
out what is wrong from your report and adjust our CMake-based build system
to do the correct thing for your particular combination of build tools.  In
any case, I have never been particularly happy with the brute-force approach
I authored to establish the dependency of the custom command on the
plhershey-unicode-gen executable, and I will ask if there is a better way to
establish such a dependency on the CMake mailing list.
