Responding on the list because SourceForge is acting up.

Usual place?
What examples are you thinking of?
So far as I know, driver files are in .../term
Things like gnuplot_x11 are in .../src because they are
separate programs, not drivers.

Ouch.  That seems to be a problem with the autoconf
commands.  It is not specific to the new option.
If you look, you'll see that the help directory is
similarly set to
    GIHDIR = ${prefix}/share/gnuplot/4.1
I'll need help to fix this one.

That's what you asked for

That is the default for the INSTALL macro.
But I can override that, I think.  Thanks for pointing it out.

What loadpath are you talking about?
GNUPLOT_LIB is not defined by default, but I don't
mind looking there if other places fail.  
Do you propose search order:

	./
	GNUPLOT_PS_DIR/
	GNUPLOT_LIB/
