Re: names of gnuplot Win32 binaries

Final decision for naming gnuplot Win32 executables for gnuplot binary 
releases (for the current development version 4.3):

1. Names and functionality of wgnuplot.exe and wgnuplot_pipes.exe (GUI 
   command line mode) and pgnuplot.exe (piper to wgnuplot.exe) stay intact.

2. Console-mode executable gnuplot.exe was added to the package. This is 
   now the recommended binary to be used under Windows -- the same name 
   as on all other platforms. The programs (like Octave) which want to use 
   it can bundle/use the gnuplot binary distribution (see below) and replace 
   the current call to "pgnuplot" by "gnuplot". (It is a development version 
   of gnuplot but it works very well.)

Updated package gp43-Nov21_2008-winbin.zip is available at
    http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/development/binaries/

For Octave: please remove the Octave-forge patches for gnuplot sources as 
they are no more necessary. Use the gnuplot sourceforge site to contribute 
new patches.
