I have changed some time ago all octave-forge plot utils to use new
interface. The diff is at:

  ftp://coffee.phys.unm.edu/pub/dima/octave/plot.diff.bz2

There are few problems with the diff (in particular with legend.m,
that is why I posted this update). I am am about to do an updated
diff (in particular I am changing __gnuplot_set__ to __gnuplot_raw__
wherever it possible), but the existing one is reasonable already.
