... and they're all in "binary datafiles" section.  Which, IMHO,
suggests an obvious alternative to patching up doc2tex.c: changing the 
structure of that part of the docs to make it less deeply nested.

I don't know where you found this limitation --- it actually supports 
1..6 as it is (6 turns into \paragraph()).  See section() in doc2tex.c,
line 327.

While at it, there is one thing that might be worth considering, though:
gnuplot.tex currently is an "article" --- at 181 pages, I would think 
that it's time to acknowledge reality and finally escalate that to 
"report" (which means it can have chapters, not just parts and 
sections).  If we fiddle with the defaults a bit (such that chapter 
starts don't force themselves onto a new right page), that should be 
manageable.
