GREGAXIS Convert numeric XTickLabels to date strings.
    GREGAXIS gets the x-axis tick values from the current axis
    and converts them to date strings of the form "Jan 1 ",
    "Feb 27", ...  The value 1 maps to "Jan 1 ", and the
    value 365 maps to "Dec 31".  Labels for values outside
    this range are blank.

    Limitations:  GREGAXIS doesn't know about leap year.
    GREGAXIS only knows how to label days with respect to the
    first day of the year; it can't label days with respect
    to some absolute date.

    Example:
      plot(1:10:365, 1:10:365)
      gregor
