Thanks to Richard Mercer (richard at seuss.math.wright.edu), who has 
implemented this in an upcoming version of calcE ( 
	http://seuss.math.wright.edu/calcE/calcE.html 
), here is the solution to my problem which might be helpful to others:

(**********************************************************************)
$DefaultFont=List["Times-Roman", 24]; 
xlabel="Time [ms]";
yscale[maxy_] := 
	Map[Append[#,{0,0.02}]&, UnitScale[0,maxy,1,5]];

gr=Show[ListPlot[{0,2,1,5}],
	Frame->{ True, True, False, False},
	FrameTicks->{Automatic,yscale[6]},
	DisplayFunction->Identity, 
	FrameLabel->{xlabel,"Response"} ];

Show[FullGraphics[gr] /.
{Text[t_,{a_,b_},{p_,0.}]:>Text[t,Scaled[{ -0.02,0},{ a, b}],{p, 0.}],
 Text[t_,{a_,b_},{p_,0.},{0.,q_}]:>
	Text[t,Scaled[{ -0.08, 0},{a,b}],{ p, 0},{0.,q}], 
 Text[xlabel,{a_,b_},{0.,2.}]:>
	Text[xlabel,Scaled[{ 0, -0.08},{a,b}],{ 0, 2}] 
},
PlotRange->All
]
