Maybe Ben can help us here. I know that he is doing such a great job in the 
field of the Octave-Gnuplot interface (but I'm not familiar with the details he 
is working on - so I might completely be wrong). Maybe he also already came 
across such a feature request? Ben, I put you CC: to this email, any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
