Well, if anyone complains, we'll just blame you, then ;-)

They're not?  That's a surprise to me.  I was under the impression Apple
users were pretty much like those of Windows concerning wielding a
compiler to get some program installed --- they consider it a dangerous
thing only to be undertaken by experts.  What would be the purpose of the
"fink" project then?

For releases before 4.0, MacOS users didn't have binaries provided by the
gnuplot team itself, and that was quite a mess which I think we really
should try to avoid, if possible.  There were versions of gnuplot
specially adapted to macintosh, but those changes were lost because they
never were brought back into the mainline sources.
