I'd prefer to determine if the desired device is supported by the local
gnuplot, and if not try "convert".
In the event we cannot determine if gnuplot supports a devices (pdf in this
instance) I think we need to be certain that "convert" does, and that convert
present, before making this change.
How can we determine if "convert.exe" exists for Windows?
