Summary: mgnuplot script not executable (permission bit turned off)

Initial Comment:
The mgnuplot script (plotting/mgnuplot) isn't
executable -- the x permission bit is turned off. So
attempting a plot fails after set_plot_option
([plot_format,mgnuplot]) .

chmod a+x plotting/mgnuplot, then trying again yields
success.

Will CVS preserve permission bits? I wonder.

Since mgnuplot is a generated file, it's not a cvs problem.
When mgnuplot is generated by make from mgnuplot.in, the x
bit should be set. mgnuplot is indeed marked executable by
make install, so the lack of x bit is only a problem in
developer sandboxes. Not sure if we should bother to fix this.
