Octave's figure function uses a feature of gnuplot that is only
availble for the X11 terminal.  So you need the version of gnuplot for
Windows, then you need to start X before running Octave.  Or, you need
to rewrire the way Octave interacts with gnuplot so that it will start
a separate gnuplot process for each figure.  Or, you need to modify
gnuplot so that the terminal driver used by the Windows version of
gnuplot can also open multiple plot windows, then modify Octave to
take advantage of the new feature.
