[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48474] mxe-octave: enable better supported gnuplot terminals

[Tatsuro MATSUOKA]

Follow-up Comment #26, bug #48474 (project octave):

>Ethan Merritt repeatedly said that the cairo-based are preferred terminals;
"x11", "windows" are legacy. So I do not think it is a 
good idea to have a work-around in octave to work with those terminals. 


As a windows binary builder of gnuplot, I can say that windows terminal is not
Obsolete and well maintained by Bastein who works extensively on gnuplot on
windows.
(I found that it is already mentioned by Dan Sebald)

I have posted a similar discussion on maintainers list
http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/mxe-octave-cairo-based-and-lua-tikz-terminals-supports-of-gnuplot-build-in-mxe-octave-td4677264.html

but no reply has been returned.

This is a chance to discuss again.

So I add the description to use full feature gnuplot on the wiki.
