Right John, it fixes the first problem. So the second problem in 
__gnuplot_version__.m  could be solved in a way like this (cf. line 33)

  pattern = "gnuplot\\s*([0-9]+\\.[0-9]+)\\s*[^\\s]*\\s*([^\\s]*)";

I can also give you my debug output if you prefer another implementation like 
that one (this is the output of the original file - I set the keyboard statement 
in line 35),

  debug> status, output, pattern, d1, d2, d3, d4, matches
  status = 0
  output = /Applications/GnuPlot.app/Contents/Resources/lib:
  gnuplot 4.2 patchlevel 0

  pattern = ^[^\s]*\s*([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)\s*[^\s]*\s*([^\s]*)
  d1 = [](1x0)
  d2 = [](1x0)
  d3 = {}(1x0)
  d4 = {}(1x0)
  matches = {}(1x0)
