Hi Elias. The gnuplot emacs interface in the gnuplot distribution is out
of date. A very updated mode is here:

 https://github.com/bruceravel/gnuplot-mode

You should patch that tree (if it doesn't have your fixes already).

Ethan and co: this came up last year, but we didn't do anything about
it. Can we either remove the gnuplot emacs mode from the CVS tree (since
it's maintained in github already), or make it obvious that the
gnuplot.el hosted HERE is a mirror rather than the upstream?
