My main motivation: prepare infrastructure for a portable way of gnuplot 
screen terminal capabilities. There will be a rewrite of gnuplot files for 
octave, for example, so prepare gnuplot for this.
For example, we cannot live with Octave's figure.m implementation with 
hardcoded "set term x11 5".


Screen terminals should be unified so that they are capable of
    set terminal screen {<n>}
                        {title "<string>"}
                        {{no}enhanced}
                        {font <fontspec>}
                        {{no}persist}
 		       {{no}raise}
                        {close}

on any OS. And you could do just once in a startup script:
    set terminal defaultscreen x11
    set terminal defaultscreen windows
    set terminal defaultscreen pm
    set terminal defaultscreen wxterminal

But it is not available from within gnuplot unless gnuplot supports new 
string function getenv('GNUTERM')? Please notice that `echo GNUTERM` is not 
available in wgnuplot.exe.
