Very pretty.  I wrapped it with try/catch,
reversed the order so that the mesh comes 
after the gsets and committed it to
octave-forge CVS.  Same for surfc.

I did not test this on older versions of gnuplot.  The
try-catch may not be able to catch gnuplot errors.

All subsequent mesh calls will use surf since octave
does not reset gnuplot between plots.  You can reset
by hand with a call to clf.  This should work in both
matlab and octave.
