new ruby gnuplot

[Roger Pack]

Since the maintainer appears to have abandoned

http://rubyforge.org/projects/rgplot
I forked his code onto github
http://github.com/rogerdpack/ruby_gnuplot/tree/master

and plan on maintaining it, so feel free [if you use this library] to
forward your patches on to me there.
Thanks.

If you find that this library doesn't handle the combination of
persistence, mouse interaction, and zombie processes, you may want to
take a look at:

These two libraries (the ruby-gnuplot gem and my own plot.rb) are not
exactly comparable. The former is a ruby dsl, the latter mostly uses
strings to talk in gnuplot's own dsl, which I find easier because of
gnuplot muscle memory.

Thanks for the input. If I ever need persistence or the what I'll give
it a whirl.

gnuplot-2.2 does have the persist option, and probably if you use it,
mouse interaction (zoom etc) is disabled. That's what my hack gets around.
