Details:
Building Octave 4.0.0-rc4 on CentOS 5 and using gnuplot 4.0.0. This causes
the tests for legend, copyobj, and hgsave to fail. This version of gnuplot is
too old according to multiple posts on the mailing list and the web

line 0: invalid expression
error: Invalid call to strcat. Correct usage is:

error: called from

I understand that gnuplot communication is done via pipes, so the version may
change since Octave is built. But then, should this be checked at runtime? Or
at least a warning during the build that the version is too old but can be
updated later.
Also, the error at the end about invalid call to strcat seems weird.
