As each island in GRASS is also area, it is exported
as area to shapefile with CAT_ID = 0. Such shapefile is then displayed
with filled island (not island but area in the island) if all areas 
have the same number. If a different colour is assigned to each CAT_ID,
the area in the island has a different colour. 
We need a new flag to disable export of not labeled areas.
