Don't specify the CMakeLists.txt file; just put the directory.  Also,
there is no space in the "Makefiles" part of the NMake generator name:

  "c:\program files\cmake 2.8\bin\cmake" ..\plplot -G "NMake Makefiles"

If specifying the CMakeLists.txt file causes this problem, that is
a separate bug to report.
