Nothing that comes with Octave.app (especially Gnuplot.app here) moves Aquaterm 
into /Library/Frameworks... I think Robert's Aquaterm must have been installed 
manually. Aquaterm stays there where it is needed:

bash~$ ls /Applications/Gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/lib
  AquaTerm.framework        libaquaterm.1.0.1.dylib   pkgconfig
  libaquaterm.1.0.0.dylib   libaquaterm.dylib
