Me too, Bastian has done a very nice job.
But your "support for XP" question is similar to one I asked a while
back about support for mingw ("plain old" minGW as opposed to
MingGW-w64). It may well be time to drop support for old
Windows-related software, but I think this should be made clear in
the ChangeLog and among the "config" files in the source tree. You
cannot compile current gnuplot for Windows using plain old minGW any
more, though the presence of files such as config.mgw suggests
otherwise.
