Mojca,

I had the same concern about the lack of a terminal window for gnuplot. I
haven't bundled mine yet, but when I do, I'll try to build an AppleScript
that starts something like iTerm (http://iterm.sourceforge.net/), and then
starts gnuplot within the iTerm window. Something like that is probably
necessary on a Mac. For other applications like maxima and octave, the
./gnuplot approach is probably OK.
