The right way of handling this would have been to do it like the other
"tick series" things in gnuplot do it, i.e. like 'set xtics'.  Which 
means the endpoints are numbers in the input format, but the increment
is a *factor*, not an addition to the logarithm.

So '5,2,200' should have delivered tics at (5,10,20,40,80,160)

Taking into account prior art, it is.  It just fails to be implemented 
that way ;-(
