I went back to #wxwidgets on IRC, and got confirmed again that bundling=20
should be enough. Let's try to get it right this time.

To sum up:
*get 4.2rc1 from gnuplot.sf.net
*apply wxmac.diff to src/wxterminal
*run ./prepare, then ./configure with your favorite options, 'make',=20
'make install'
You get a working gnuplot with the wxt terminal (assuming you have=20
cairo, pango and wxMac installed), but the plot windows don't get the foc=
us

Then the bundling stuff:
*download the attached Icon.plist and wxmac.icns files
*run the following commands to create the bundle tree:
    mkdir -p ./gnuplot.app/Contents/MacOS/
    mkdir -p ./gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/
    mkdir -p ./gnuplot.app/Contents/Frameworks/
    cp ../src/gnuplot ./gnuplot.app/Contents/MacOS/gnuplot
    echo -n 'APPL????' >  ./gnuplot.app/Contents/PkgInfo
* retrieve the attached Icon.plist and wxmac.icns files, put them in the=20
current directory, and put them at their respective locations in the=20
bundle with the following commands:
    cp ./Info.plist ./gnuplot.app/Contents/
    cp ./wxmac.icns ./gnuplot.app/Contents/Resources/

Then, you're supposed to be all set. To launch gnuplot, do:
    open gnuplot.app
or
    ./gnuplot.app/Contents/MacOS/gnuplot

... and it should be fine now, according to what I've been told on IRC.

Joe, could you try again with these instructions ? Thank you very much.
