That sounds like a great idea, the attached patch[1] *should* implement
the prepending of options to a script as you described above.  It works
for me on one simple test.  Please let me know if it works for you.

This second approach could work with "org-babel" --a library for
org-mode on which I am currently working--.  I hope to add gnuplot as a
supported language to org-babel.  Once this is done it will be possible
to write gnuplot source-code blocks which can then be fed table data
returning graphs for display or inclusion in org-mode files.  Through
the "library of babel" functionality, these gnuplot code blocks could be
named, saved, and called from other org-mode files.
