As Qhull it has its own page (inacessible for me most of the time)
http://www.geom.umn.edu, with a working mirror at=20
http://www.thesa.com/software/qhull/ and sources at
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/qhull/qhull-new.pkg/2002.1/qhull2002.1.=
tgz

I don't think we should include it in PLplot. We could however provide=20
the its sources in our download page.

The sources, at savannah.nongnu.org, are only 470K.

 Compiling for Unix

  The gzip file, qhull.tgz, contains documentation and source files for
  qhull and rbox. =20
 =20
  To unpack the gzip file
  - tar zxf qhull.tgz
  - cd qhull
 =20
  Compiling with the Debian Make:[R. Laboissiere]
  - cd src
  - ./Make-config.sh
  - cd ..
  - configure
  - make


Thanks,
