Oh, I didn't read your message carefully enough. I have thought that
the terminal doesn't appear in the list when running gnuplot.
Since the terminal gets hardcoded into gnuplot, one would need to
patch that messages in configure script as well (I both didn't think
about it and now I would not consider it worth mentioning to fix that
unles the terminal would be added to CVS one day).

I have also started modifying the terminal already to output TikZ
code, but then I have figured out that someone did that already using
lua (and would only need minor modifications to make it work in plan
TeX & ConTeXt as well). But nobody has ever commented about that TikZ
terminal so far, although I suspect that quito some people use it
already. It would indeed be nice to have a better any-TeX support.
