The orientation of the data is a matter of the to-be-written second

whether time is in rows or columns and so on.
Here (attached) is a another iteration with some bugfixes, but
especially the mentioned second function (pstack_sven) which transforms
everything to a gretl series.

In theory this is now handled as well by specifying timevertical=1 in
pstack_sven. But untested.
Note I'm working under the assumption that internally in gretl the panel
data organization is always as stacked time series, no matter whether
setobs gave the --stacked-cross-section option or not. I hope this is
correct, otherwise please speak up.
