Hi Hez: Actually after sleeping on it, I am leaning toward saying do (1) (with code commentary where you do the disabling in plimage.c, xwin.c, etc., about why it was necessary) and leave (2) as a would-be-nice rather than a requirement since it sounds like it might be a lot of work which you could more productively spend on the OCaml bindings, for example. However, I don't feel right making this decision alone because I haven't used -dev xwin or the plimage capability for my own PLplot needs, and somebody who has more of a vested interest in those parts of PLplot may feel a lot stronger about their speed than I do. Thus, I am going to need advice/help from the other PLplot core developers on the decision about (1) and (2) so please step forward, guys, and comment. (3) sounds good!
