To bring this thread to conclusion, Orion implemented Brad's idea for
PLplot's Ada language support (see
<http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/ci/5722b1754e384b62a18e20dc45d41785c1b40cbb/>),
and I just did the same thing for PLplot's D language support (see
<http://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/plplot/ci/16fe6dcb1e5acc3284f265af366eccc1b2099bfc>)
with good test results for Ada and D examples for both shared and
static libraries and both CMake-3.3.2 and CMake-3.4.0-rc3.

Thanks, Brad, for your essential help in solving these PLplot Ada and
D issues caused by the internal changes in CMake's language support
infrastructure for CMake-3.4.
