 *   Summary of major modifications (see ChangeLog.md for full history):
 *   1. CMake build system & C++11 throughout.
 *   2. Core panner/ zoomer refactored:
 *        - QwtPanner → QwtCachePanner (pixmap-cache version)
 *        - New real-time QwtPlotPanner derived from QwtPicker.
 *   3. Zoomer supports multi-axis.
 *   4. Parasite-plot framework:
 *        - QwtFigure, QwtPlotParasiteLayout, QwtPlotTransparentCanvas,
 *        - QwtPlotScaleEventDispatcher, built-in pan/zoom on axis.
 *   5. New picker: QwtPlotSeriesDataPicker (works with date axis).
 *   6. Raster & color-map extensions:
 *        - QwtGridRasterData (2-D table + interpolation)
 *        - QwtLinearColorMap::stopColors(), stopPos() API rename.
 *   7. Bar-chart: expose pen/brush control.
 *   8. Amalgamated build: single QwtPlot.h / QwtPlot.cpp pair in src-amalgamate.
