There is a 'with histograms' option in gnuplot.  I made a small change
to org-plot.el so that this option now works as expected, for an
example of plotting a histogram (of one or more columns) using
org-plot see the example.org file in my git repo.

That does seem like it would be useful (maybe accessible through
another optional argument), I've added it to the project's TODO file.
