By what? Isn't there some way to know whether that dir should be called 
"Program Files", "Programy", "Programme", etc?

Do you really need it? I "crosscompile" gnuplot for Windows on Linux by 
means of MingW: I run the wine console (wcmd), and then do what is written 
for mingw: go to src/, type "make -f ../config/makefile.mgw", and it is 
done.

Isn't there a Wine for MacOSX on Intel?

I did so, see
 	http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/development/binaries/

I think that cleaned makefile could be put into cvs, if you prepare it. 
Check also config.xxx.

There could be a message in that makefile that the 
compilation/binary/pgnuplot/... may not work for which version of the 
compiler.
