That answered most of my questions.

the plots will be emtpy squares.
Ok, I'll try that.
Other comments:
* I have no problems on OS X 10.4 PPC with this or the patch. Passes
relevant long optional tests. That's good!
* Has anyone tested this on Solaris? Just because sometimes there are
config options which change there which have caused problems in the past.
* I would suggest that perhaps this should then remove some of the
bizarre stuff in spkg-install that checks for the X headers, etc. and only
for this reason. Though I suppose that could still be in another ticket,
since that is for X support, and apparently the pngs still appear? So
maybe forget this...
* This typo probably should be fixed in SPKG.txt, though:
{{{

}}}
