A new official patch (#2) will be available soon for gnuplot
on cs.duke.edu.  Gnuplot2.02 will now compile with the following
mod to 'makefile.unx': -DGAMMA=lgamma
Also the new version supports the following:

gnuplot> set term epsf
gnuplot> set output "|Preview"
gnuplot> plot blah....

Hopefully the tests of the patch will be complete by the end
of the year.
