Thanks, Mike.  I like the idea of generating the gnuplot command file
and then running it in a separate step; may switch my code to do that
too.  I also appreciate how your code shows how to do more cunning
gnuplot things, like xtics and rotate; and the use of ~{ and ~} in
format, which I hadn't taken on board before.

My code is odd, in comparison with yours, in that it doesn't just use
`read' to read the benchmark data.  That's because I've been using the
standard output from ./benchmark-guile, which begins with two
uncommented lines:

   Benchmarking /home/neil/SW/Guile/ovnight/meta/guile ...
   with GUILE_LOAD_PATH=/home/neil/SW/Guile/ovnight/benchmark-suite
   ;; running guile version 1.9.3
   ...

But I see now that I could use benchmark-guile.log and just `read'
instead...

In summary, much appreciated!
