Everything you ask for already exists in gnuplot 4.2. For example, `set 
grid mxtics` sets a grid at minor x tics. See `help grid` for details on 
how to set the linetype.

Note that if you're at an interactive terminal with mouse capability 
(any modern one) pressing `r` gives you a ruler. I find this far easier 
to use than trying to interpolate on a grid, especially since I can zoom 
in for higher precision.
