I have committed the following change:

Index: plplotdoc.xml.in

i.e., your patch with the overall title left as is.
But I am not getting the menu entry

* The PLplot Plotting Library: (plplotdoc).   The PLplot Plotting Library

that is expected from your above notes. Instead, when I execute "info
plplotdoc.info" the detailed node listing under Introduction is as follows:

* The PLplot Plotting Library::
* Getting a Copy of the PLplot Package::
...

Am I looking in the wrong place in the menu or is this the right place, but
my old software is producing a simplified menu result?

Please check this commit (and the prior one) to make sure at least the
filename aspect of it finally works for you.
