But it should also be a package outside of fink and macport be provided.
These projects (fink and macports) are cool, but not all want to compile
for 2 hours until they can use gnuplot (and compiling all packages
needed for pango takes a long time). And sadly more often then I would
hope for I encounter some package which doesn't compile correctly (both
for fink and macports) - quality is not right there IMO.

Yup, wxWidgets can be compiled in statically and then a .pkg could be
provided whcih installs gnuplot in /usr/local/ - it should even be
possible that the GTK framework is downloaded automatically and
installed (if needed) or something like that (since gtk framework would
then be the only dependency which is needed).

But before that the wxt(p) terminal needs to be debugged, since there is
still some work to do.
