These two (or at least plt) are needed for the Oracle 11gR2 database.

There are a few programs out there needed that use this library,
xfig being the most prominent of these. It's very old, but has no
functional equivalent in the whole UNIX world ('dia' miserably
failed to become one), and is still the most useful program in
that area that I've ever encountered. I have patches to compile it
with the netpbm packages on OI, so this is still functional.
