Oops, I should have said that you currently have to choose a terminal
type and output file, so try something like:

    print -deps -debug=FILE.gp FILE.eps

The only drawback that I see is that it encourages people to continue
doing gnuplot-specific tricks for plotting that will likely stop
working at some point.
