YESSS! And since I'm on the ball today, there should be a "porting" doc page and everything.

I'm seriously looking forward to helping you port the science collection and getting your reactions to the new library.

Does this mean it will it be in the next 'nightly' build?

    I've just pushed the new 'plot' library.

    Eli and I both forgot that the new 'plot' still needs the old
    libfit, and removed it along with libplplot. I just added libfit
    back (the sources are in "src/fit" now instead of "src/plot/fit")
    along with the proper configure, Makefile.in, and get-libs.rkt changes.

    I can verify that libfit compiles on 64-bit Ubuntu. It *should*
    build on Windows and Mac. :D

    I've taken Matthew's suggestion to make the new 'plot' as
    backward-compatible as possible. Plots might still break (such as
    the example at racket-lang.org <http://racket-lang.org> and on the
    Wikipedia page). Using the 'plot/compat' module should make these work.

    This change replaces about 20000 lines of C+support code with 7000
    lines of Racket that does a lot more. Racket code for backward
    compatibility totals only 500 lines. The libfit library is about 500
    lines of C+make code.
