[PD] log function in slider

[Alexandre Torres Porres]

cool, looks great

by the way, this guy was helping me out with the math, so I don't really
know what's going on that well.

Apparently he couldn't figure out the slider height variable. And Roman
didn't use that too.

The formula was behaving the same as Roman's patch, but we simplified the
formula now so it's more related to Roman's patch.

It's something like this now

[expr~ min_$0 * exp($v1 * log(max_$0 / min_$0))]

then doing the inverse is not too complicated, just use "ln"

I still have not much clue about the original code, the slider height
variable and other things, but, anyhow, these were the equations I was
looking for ;)

cheers
