This is also the same approach used by the PLplot_Octave package.  Actually,
the grace package strategy was inspired by that of PLplot_Octave.  The
Octave bindings are distributed with the upstream tarball of PLplot.  There
is a Debian package called octave-plplot for it.

I am interested in knowing whether the PLplot Octave binding could benefit
from the Handle Graphics abstraction layer that is being discussed in the
present thread.
