Thank you for your taking my proposal account into account.
I have confirmed the change on the cvs.

After you will made the source tarball the 4.4.0, I will make the windows, cygwin, djgpp binaries as
soon as possible.  I will do it on the PC in the university. Because the Internet in my home is still
narrow band :-( and I am now updating the dependency libraries in the PC in my home.
(I want use it for gnuplot 4.5 release.)

For the building 4.4.0, it is better to use the no-updated dependencies, which have been used in a few
months (probably) without problems, to avoid unexpected errors.

BTW, I do not have the authorization to upload files to the SourceForge.
I can make my web page for uploading 4.4.0 binaries.
Will someone download them and upload to SourceForge?

Regards

Tatsuro
