A few times I have tried to build a standalone gnuplot (independent of
macports), but this time I was doing experiments with AquaTerm.
AquaTerm doesn't provide 64-bit binaries and was just experimenting
with that. If I build gnuplot with MacPorts then AquaTerm works
(however the latest version of gnuplot complains that aquaterm doesn't
support transparency and it complains when I build it).

But when I use macports, I cannot test if my own build of AquaTerm
works (apparently it doesn't, but that's an independent issue).

I'm not interested in x11 (except that I'm lucky to have a working
backup terminal when aquaterm fails), but in particular I'm not
interested in MacPorts' gnuplot since it doesn't satisfy my needs.

If I uninstall system-wide AquaTerm and only keep the one shipped with
MacPorts, gnuplot won't even compile with AquaTerm support, so I
always get x11 (for some reason I like AquaTerm more despite many of
its drawbacks).
