DOLFIN now has C++ bindings for plotting. These work in the same way
as the Python bindings:

    // Plot function
    plot(u);

    // Plot mesh
    plot(mesh);

When plot() is called, a temporary data file (DOLFIN XML format) and a
temporary Python script is created in /tmp. Then system() is called to
run the Python script.

Try it out (for example by running the Poisson demo). There are
probably a few glitches that we need to take care of, in particular
failing gracefully when Viper or PyDOLFIN are not available.
