gnuplot issue

[joerg van den hoff]

update (in case of interest to anyone):

after

* forcibly uninstalling gnuplot
* port selfupdate
* port upgrade outdated # which pulled in gnuplot as a dependency of maxima

x11 and wxt did still not work at the same time.

after another forced uninstall of gnuplot and subsequent

port install gnuplot +wxwidgets +x11

sane behaviour was restored. previously (prior to uninstalling gnuplot) the above command did *not* 
trigger recompilation of gnuplot (and did not make wxt and x11 terminals available at the same 
time), now it did.

I think there is some minor problem present in handling of this package?

anyway: now works again.
