btw. I have posted the opengl terminal to the patch tracker on
sourceforge. It's been updated a bit since I last posted it here.
It would be good to get feedback from anybody who's managed to compile
it and use it.

I look forward to hearing your suggestions concerning extending gnuplot
to do real 3D. I've had a few ideas myself, but I'm wary of taking on
anything that big alone.

I think there may well be cases where we would need to redesign some
existing "features" in order to get them to sit well with an alternative
terminal interface.

The first one that springs to mind is multiplot. I have to say I had
never used this feature before I started writing my terminal driver, and
I found it quite difficult to get to work even with the way I had
implemented opengl as a 2D driver.
