Hi

There are some Windows users using wgnuplot :-)

Although removing it from CVS is not a problem, it is very convenient to have 
it as part of a SciPy installation.  Perhaps wgnuplot/gnuplot_helper.exe can 
be made available for download somewhere else on the scipy site? 

What would be helpful is if a Windows source bundle (say the .zip 
distribution) included wgnuplot/gnuplot_helper so that scipy could be 
compiled "out the box".  Or alternatively, just instructions to on how to 
download/install the gnuplot executables.
