After going through some pain, I managed to compile wxWidgets 2.8 and
link gnuplot against it.

It seems to work fine apart from some minor (not too important) issues:

- The window stays behind the terminal when plotting to it (but on the
other hand that is almost the same in matlab); this is slightly
non-desirable and probably easy to fix if one knows what to fix.

- wxt seems to be great in supporting a lot of mouse events (scroll
left & right, zoom in & out); would there be any chance to add left &
right scrolling and zoom in & out events based on "mouse gestures"
supported by apple? Apple's mouse supports scrolling left and right
and zooming in and out natively. These events would only have to
become synonyms with current shift+scroll up/down.

- After I play with zoom a bit, I'm unable to go back to original/auto
focus; also when I plot the next function, the zoom still stays at
some weird place where it was left at the first plot; I'm unable to
figure out how to get default scale.
