Hello,
I've put the gnuplot binary for windows on http://modules.contextgarden.net/gnuplot-win, just in case that anyone is interested (Firefox has problems displaying that page, but I didn't figure out whether the problem lies in the garden, firefox or on my computer).
Some functionality and documentation is still missing, but the interface should be stable now. If anyone would like to suggest what the default settings for some options should be, feel free to comment. I'm not sure if the current settings are all sensinble and there might still be time to change some.
I downloaded the gnuplot and a couple of tests. Few comments: m-gnuplot is found before t-gnuplot on my system. I know that m-gnuplot has been removed from the core packages, but I (and I guess most people) update using ctxtools --update, which will not delete the existing m-gnuplot. So, to ensure that the new module is loaded, you must use \usemodule[t][gnuplot] I do not understand the need to create a batch file in Windows. I understand the naming mess in gnuplot, but can't you follow the same strategy as the bib module. That is allow the user to name the command, something like \setupgnuplot[program=wgnuplot|pgnuplot|whatever]
Gnuplot 4.2 will probably be released very soon. The context terminal might have chances to be included in the "patchset 1", but the developers are reluctant to include it without any feedback from other users.
Please also include a demo file with the gnuplot module. If I were seriously considering using gnuplot, a demo file will help a lot. That will also allow you to find the syntax mistake in the examples at the end. You should hae \startGNUPLOTscript[exp] instead of \startGNUPLOTscript{exp} (square brackets, instead of braces)
Even a few comments like "it works for me" on http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1654807&group_id=2055&atid=302055 or on the mailing list would probably help.
I will test it a bit more and then leave some feedback there also. Aditya
