It seems to me there is some confusion above. I haven't found anything like 
"specially prepared console mode gnuplot". I think that what you are 
describing is just cygwin-X11 build of gnuplot for Windows. This package is 
officially supported, see
 	gp423win32x11.zip
on the Download site.

Considering binaries of the development version, I put them from time to 
time at
	http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/development/binaries/
I have refreshed it now to
	gp43-Mar24_2008-winbin.zip
	gp43-Mar24_2008-winbinX11.zip

Considering the file
	gp4.3cyg_octX4MSVC.zip
on your web page:
- It does not contain postscript prologue files, so that Octave users
  cannot print.
- It contains 00README file with MY signature, but I haven't NOT produced
  this package!

Please fix it, or produce a package refering to the package at 
development/binaries/
