hmm. thats interesting. i did not have any problems in compiling gnuplot
with xfig driver. in my experience, gnuplot has one of the most painless 
installation of freely distributed software. i have made fig plots as a test
of the driver and it seems to work well. its just that i have never made
fig plots for my academic/research use as of yet. but as far as i can tell,
the driver seems to be just fine.

i use xfig routinely. and i find it a real useful tool for my work.
