Their presence breaks automake rules when running
in a separate build directory.
And when regenerated cause unwanted "changed files"
in the repository.
As a consequence visual C compilation will fail.
It will still work with a "make dist" generated tar ball.
We need to upgrade the visual C project files
to invoke bison and flex on windows,
or we have to provide these generated files
in a visual C specific directory. (very annoying of course)
Contrary to older versions gnuplot 5 uses "enhanced text mode" per default.
The strings which we pass to gnuplot don't have "latex" semantics,
thus consistently enforce "noenhanced text mode".
Add a function quote_gnuplot_string() to escape and quote strings
in such a way that they will arrive in gnuplot unmodified.

Using conditional expressions within a .control sequence
left some garbage vectors in the current plot.
For example
> let ix = 0
>
> while ix < 2
> let ix = ix + 1
> end
>
> display
"display" reported a variable named "ix < 2"
which was an internal temporary value in said function `cp_istrue()'
let 2foo = someexpression
was silently accepted, even though 2foo is an illegal identifier.
(first letter is a digit)
This was especially irritating, since
print 2foo
has a legal meaning, 2 femto oO, which is 2e-15
(whatever Unit an oO might be)

a diode model named "1smb4148" could not be found
because it was dropped in `comment_out_unused_subckt_models()'
as a work around the function
is_a_modelname()
is extended to accept an additional pattern which does match "1smb4148"
Thanks to Martin who submitted the bug report here:

meas "AVG" did merely the average of the given values,
without consideration of their spacing on the "scale" axis.
now use trapezoidal summing to calculate the AVG
note, there is "meas INTEG"
which goes beyond trapezoidal summing
The "delete" command destroyed the whole list of stored breakpoints
instead of just the specified one.
