in an LANG environment with ',' as decimal point, sscanf(optarg, "%f,%f",...) leads to trouble. Appended patch uses "%f:%f" and allows me to enter number with and without post decimal digits.
How about use ';' instead of ':' for delimiter (';' is used as delimiter for
xy-coordinates in Russian)? Or, to use 'x' (as with other gerbv parameters)
it is possible to count 'x' quantity in parameter string, and if it is only
one, separate parameter string in two by 'x' and sscanf each of two part
separately. I doubt someone will want hexadecimals in coordinate. What do
you think?

';' is also good. Did not think about it when writing the patch...
'x' needs more care not to be missinterpreted as hex and so should
be deprecated.
appended patch used 'x' as delimiter for translation coordinate input, as other input does. To care for sscanf missinterpreting "0x1", internally 'x' is replaced by ';'
