There is one thing that gnuplot could do for those who prefer x11:

- enable building gnuplot without aquaterm (I wasn't able to figure
out if that was possible at all; to disable X11 one simply uses
"--without-x" which I often did)

- add some configure-time option to set x11 (or any other terminal) as
the default one
