I like the idea.  This is one of my most used output formats.  (Same thing for 
Xfig, i.e., combined PS/LaTeX.)  Although, there are a variety of gnuplot TeX 
related formats, e.g., TeX, LaTeX, etc.  So maybe the dev_list name should be 
"pstex" or "pslatex"?  You could still leave the ".tex" extension check, as the 
combined ps/latex is the nicest and most useful variation of all the TeX related 
outputs.

Why not ... like the line before it rather than \?
