If you're interested, you can take a look at the patches and procedures 
I use for building gnuplot and its dependencies as plotting backend for 
octave. You can find the code at

https://octave.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/octave/trunk/octave-forge/admin/Windows/mingw32/tools/gnuplot

It's currently for the 4.3.0-2009-07-08 CVS snapshot.
