ah, my old friend, the redefinition bug - but now I'm happy someone else 
stumbled on this. I solved it by just commenting out the lines in io.h 
(during the compile), for I have no "original linkage" given from 
anything so I cannot say which exact thing is causing the compiler to 
say that.

so if you can come up with something useful solving this I would be very 
happy.

When commenting out the setmode() lines in io.h the compilation should 
work just fine, BUT the application crashes when using gd functions. 
This is - due to the gd author - because VS .NET links against 
MSVCR71.DLL, and not against MSVCRT.DLL, against which the gd.lib is 
linked.

So: if you managed to compile gd with your version of gnuplot, 
pleeeaaaasseeeee tell me how :-) for you HAVE to do something different.

pdf I haven't tested so far .... . if it's linked against the same lib 
as gd.dll it might just crash, too :-(
