Packaging and setup files are looking pretty good to me, but I have two
questions.
I'm wondering if it really makes sense to have a README for every
subcomponent of ploticus. Wouldn't it be more helpful to have just
one usr/share/doc/Cygwin/ploticus README? Well, it's your decision.
You're only providing a static libploticus.a. Doesn't ploticus also
support building and linking against a shared lib?
