The MinGW team officially releases their packages at SourceForge.  From
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435&package_id=241304
there is a gcc 4.3.0 release with big warnings in the associated release
notes about its alpha quality. However, there are some "technology preview"
MinGW gcc-4.2.1 packages available at the same site which from the release
notes appears to be much more mature than 4.3.0 but less mature than
MinGW gcc-3.4.5.

Anyhow, if anyone wants to experiment further with MinGW builds of software
that absolutely requires gcc 4.x, then probably the official gcc 4.2.1 MinGW
release is the one to try at this time.  As far as I know, PLplot windows
developers have not tried this version yet, but I assume it is on their
agenda.
