[Plplot-devel] API changes - tidying up use of const char *

I've had no negative responses to my proposal to rationalise our use of char * / const char * for arguments in plplot functions. This will make the API tidier, and will also get rid of the warning messages Alan pointed out with newer gcc versions. Since this is formally an API change it will requ

For some time I've been pondering ways of plotting up time series over days / months. Many plotting packages (e.g. gnuplot) provide special options for time series so you can format the axis labels in a human dd/mm type format for example. Plplot currently has no such facility. This has been broug
