Ah, I see.  I guess the solution which would be most flexible in the long 
run would be to make the GUI abstraction "abstract enough" that it isn't 
limited to GUIs -- sort of like gnuplot does with its notion of 
'terminals'.  Then backends could be created for writing to various file 
formats.  But that's probably quite a lot of work.

I started using Plot2Kill "for real" at work today, BTW, and it works 
very well.  Now, if someone made a CAS library for D, I would never again 
have to reach for any tool other than vim and dmd... ;)
