Details:

While in scripts/plot/__gnuplot_has_feature__.m Gnuplot version >= 4.3 is
stated to have "variable_GPVAL_TERMINALS", this is not the case for a Gnuplot
4.3 (patchlevel 0) version lingering on my system:

        G N U P L O T
        Version 4.3 patchlevel 0

Terminal type set to 'x11'
gnuplot> if (exists("GPVAL_TERMINALS")) print GPVAL_TERMINALS; else print
NaN
NaN
gnuplot> 

This lets __gnuplot_has_terminal__.m misbehave, thinking it can use this
variable.

(Yes, I have also a newer Gnuplot installed; I accidentally used this old
version.)
