I also have a slightly related question--is there any way to get version information from gnuplot from within octave?
Somewhere on the gnuplot sites there is a script for displaying images using gnuplot 4.2. In that you'll see the following code:

  ## Get gnuplot version if this is first time function is called.
  if (__gnuplot_version__ == 0)
    [status, output] = system([gnuplot_binary " --version"]);
    words = split(output, " ");
    if ( (size(words,1) >= 2) && isdigit(words(2,1)) )
      __gnuplot_version__ = sscanf(words(2,:), '%f', 1);
    else
      __gnuplot_version__ = -1;
    endif
    if (__gnuplot_version__ < 4.1)
disp('Images can be displayed using Gnuplot version 4.1 or higher.');
    endif
  end


Is that what you're looking for?

Yes, that's what I had in mind. It's not a very pretty solution, but probably the best there is.
