There are two separate problems. One is that gnuplot doesn't find
aquaterm in macport, but the second separate one is that gnuplot
doesn't find aquaterm 1.1.0 (installed directly, not via macports) at
all.

I was mostly talking about supporting 1.1.0. The issue with finding
aquaterm in macports is a different (even though related) issue. Also,
it is not very nice that configure script unconditionally reports that
it is going to build aquaterm and then doesn't do it.

This would help in the case of macports. It doesn't help with aquaterm
1.1.0 which doesn't install libaquaterm.dylib at all.

(This should be fixed before the next release.)
