Nigel Nunn seems otherwise occupied, so I'll bite: it's a hypothetical 
new driver, to be built by extending Nigel's work on integrating gnuplot 
into other apps, as a GUI control (original an MFC control, now, 
apparently, a wx Widget).

That's what he meant.  gnuplot-as-a-library, if it is to make sense, 
needs a way to get data passed in by huge blocks, from the calling 
application.  Going through an ASCII data file would be pretty foolish 
for that, but a shared memory-mapped file of binary data would do it.

In other words, a named pipe by usage, but implemented in a more 
Windows-ish fashion.
