Right, but that basically means that gretl is right in demanding a dataset
when the GUI-main function is going to be called.
Maybe then nothing needs to be changed after all...?
Maybe, but I think we should probably offer to open the package's
sample script, which is what we do for packages that explicitly
require a dataset, when there's no dataset loaded.
