Ethan,

We already have X11 available on Macs, so building wxt with X11 as a basis
is a workaround solution. The problem is that you would still need to
install and start X11 before you start gnuplot with wxt. It is just a
choice, but a choice with consequences. The appearance of X11 graphics, when
compared to Mac graphics is inferior, in my (Mac user) opinion, anyway.

It would still take someone familiar with the Mac's idiosyncrasies to get
wxt working with X11 on a Mac.
