MIchael,

Thanks for this.

I'm running the default branch. When I check "available backends", I  
get ...

octave:17> available_backends
ans =
{
   [1,1] = gnuplot
}

However, switching to fltk appears to work ... well  almost. The plot  
doesn't render properly.

Is this typical given the current state of development, or ... perhaps  
I have some problem with my build?
