the logarithmic view in the new basecurve module might help you with this.
or else see tools/basecurve/basecurve.c near the end, it outputs a line of
sql to inject a fitted spline to the database. shouldn't be too hard to
feed it your samples instead (although i think the rest of the binary might
be doing exactly what you're doing).
