I like it.
There is one issue I am unhappy about, but it was not
introduced by this patchset.  

The centering algorithm for "set key under" is very
fragile, and sometimes comes out horribly wrong.  See,
for instance, the last plots in histograms.dem.
On X11 with font "verdana,11" the key is more or less OK,
although not perfectly centered.
But with 'set term png font "verdana" 11'  (same font)
the centering is very wrong.

Any chance that while this code is still fresh in your
mind, you could have another look at the centering
algorithm?  Feel free to rip out any of my previous
tweaks, since clearly they are not working reliably.
