AquaTerm may lack some features like mousing events, but the terminal
still works perfectly fine.

I'm asking *exactly* about the autoconf help. I can tell you exactly
how gcc call has to be made and I can tell you exactly how ./conigure
script needs to look like, but:
- I cannot make any commits to repository
- I don't know how to write input for ./prepare script (for autotools)

Well, yes. But you could say the same for windows. (I'm sorry for a
bit of sarcasm and a not-exactly-true-statement - but the whole
autotools horror also only exists on gnu platforms :) :) :)

Apple specialists will be able to tell you how to fix xcode projects
or how to fix the command line that compiles gnuplot. Apple
specialists won't be able to tell you how to work with autotools.

The *only* thing that needs to be fixed is to replace
    -laquaterm
with
    -framework AquaTerm
in LDFLAGS in any given call (both to test for existence of aquaterm
and to actually build it).

Matlab?
