Very nice code archaeology.  Congratulations.

I don't have a version of gcc old enough to compile it with without
providing a compatibility header and hacking a couple of lines that
refer to obsolete error handling, but after that the *.c files compile
with only a few complaints!

I will add the tarball to the gnuplot-historical directory on SourceForge.
It would be nice to also add it to the git repository, but ...

When  Eric Raymond helped create our current git repository from a combination
of the cvs content and historical tarballs of earlier versions he made it so that
each of the historical version was present as a tag.  I can check each one
out by name for inspection.  Like this:

=========================================================
[~/git/gnuplot-main] git tag
1.1
1.10A
2.0
3.0
3.1
3.2
3.5
3.7.1
3.7.2
3.7.3
... etc

[~/git/gnuplot-main] git checkout --detach 1.1
HEAD is now at 2f87cf77c Content from historic/gnuplot-1.1.tar.gz
=========================================================

But I have no idea how to add this version 1.0 snapshot to the repository
so that it matches the others.
Does anyone know an appropriate set of git commands?
