Gnuplot 4.2.3 is the stable version at the moment. There are just two minor 
rejects when applying the patch, thus it should be very easy to do the 
update for 4.2.3.

wgnuplot
wgnuplot_pipes
pgnuplot

(and the cygwin's x11 binaries).


Let's continue on this issue after you have submitted the patches onto
