Dominique meant that gnuplot wouldn't update on 10.4, but would on 10.5
and later.  On 10.5 and 10.6 X11 includes libpng12.  On 10.4 it does not.

The issue is that there are hardcoded references to libpng12.dylib in
the gnuplot build process.  On 10.5 or 10.6, X11's libpng12.dylib
satisfied them (though that wasn't the behavior I intended), and the
package could update.  On 10.4, the build dependency on libpng14 meant
there was no build-time libpng12.dylib from Fink, so therefore the
package failed to build.

The fix implemented in gnuplot-4.4.0-2 was to go back to using Fink's
libpng3 package (which contains libpng12.dylib) and thereby allow the
package to find the _intended_ libpng12.dylib, Fink's rather than X11's,
on all platforms.
