Release plan for 4.4.1

[sfeam (E. Merritt) <eam...@gm...>]

Hi all,

In keeping with a target schedule to release updates at 6 month intervals, 
I'm figuring to release gnuplot 4.4.1 next week.

There are several nice fixes in CVS for 4.4.1 including a configure 
script that actually works on OSX 10.6 without messing up readline.

A longer list of changes is at the top of the NEWS file:
