[OctDev] graceplot does not work with grace6

[Rafael L. <ra...@de...>]

In my Debian sarge system, the graceplot alternative is not working with the
grace6 package.  Is this a known issue?

Yes, 

graceplot is based on the Grace command interpreter, which is not supported
in the Grace 5.99 version. Without it, interfacing external
applications will be hard, if not impossible.

Can you test for this somehow, preferably at runtime, but at configure
time if necessary?

Thanks,

I added a test to toggle_grace_use.m. It should now refuse to turn on Grace 
support if the Grace version string is above 5.2, or if the xmgrace binary is 
not found.
