axis manipulations in plots are unnecessarily restrictive

[pstrang]

I didn't/don't see a huge need to demonstrate the problem as the reason was
quite obvious.  Certain axis properties simply aren't implemented.  That's
all.

Perhaps I'll start paying attention to the maintainers list.  I'll take your
comments as good advice. However, I hope that other people working the
project have a little more tact.  Reading between the lines, it seems you're
a little worn out working with "newbies".

This sounds like a fun project to help on. I hope I can contribute, even a
little. Oh, and an OpenGL-based renderer sounds exciting.
