> This algorithm of theirs is able to position labels so that they don't
> overlap and the labels are also placed in as good a place as possible.
> It can handle line-, point- and area labels.

> This module would not be a replacement to v.label rather an extension,
> but it would have to start out as a separate module (to make it possible
> to grade my work). My plan for this would be to output a label file just
> like v.label does. After I'm done for school I'd merge this code to be
> triggered by a flag in v.label.
