No objections from me. We do compile other additional examples this way.

My list of issues
- char * to const char * tidy up should now be done. Please report any
warnings still outstanding.
- New API additions for date / time axes and alpha transparency.
Done for C, C++, f77, f95, java, python, octave. Still need implementing
for ada and tcl.
- Examples 29 and 30. Done for C, C++, f77, f95, java, octave. Still need
implementing for python, ada, tcl. Still some issues tidying up system time
handling for java and maybe fortran?
None of these are show stoppers, but it would be nice to get all
bindings up to date.
While looking at the examples I also noticed the tcl examples are
falling behind. Any tcl fans volunteering for some porting work?
We have also not ported example 27 (the spirograph plots) at all. Is
anyone intending more work on this example or is it now declared
"stable"?
Andrew
