OK. I'll put that in CVS.  It's a trivial change, and has no issues
with backward compatibility.

Several ways, now that I have fixed the typos in gplt_x11.c

1) In Gnuplot.app-defaults,  change the line
     gnuplot*borderWidth: 2

2) same thing, only in your ~/.Xdefaults file

3) same thing, but dynamically for this X session
     echo "gnuplot*borderWidth: 1" | xrdb -merge

4) gnuplot -bw 1

5) gnuplot -borderwidth 1
