Plus relying on whether there is an "rm" command.

But anyway, the problem should be gone now as I've checked in changes
so that Octave's new plotting code doesn't use any temporary files
when communicating with gnuplot.

But if someone wants gnuplot to delete a file, it would be handy if
gnuplot had a "delete-file" command instead of trying to rely on shell
commands.
