I now have found that the gnuplot 4.4.0 distribution on Windows also
includes the regular gnuplot.exe executable, which nicely outputs errors to
stderr. The only problematic point is that it is not a single executable
(like wgnuplot.exe in 4.2) any more, but comes with 26 extra DLL-s of 13MB,
which are bound to cause conflicts and installation troubles. There also
seem to be some unneeded things like lua51.dll, but as they are not
delay-linked they cannot be left out. The executable size is a bit smaller
than earlier, so I suspect some of the bloat is just caused by using dynamic
libraries instead of earlier static. If so, what would be the rationale?
Should I try to download the sources and build a statically linked version
of it?
