FWIW, my Ada bindings already have some extra palettes plus the ability to switch black and white. I hope to write Ada versions of the PLplot examples (I assume that's a prerequisite) and see what is involved with getting this work included with the official release. I think there might be a documentation project for the thick binding, but the standard PLplot docs should be good for the thin binding.
