This is great news Wolf! Once your label collision system is complete I think 
that it can be tied in nicely with the GRASS-GMT work that has been underway. 
Label placement in GMT is done feature-by-feature, so the output from your 
module should be a drop-in upgrade to the current use of centroids, etc.

Cheers,

Dylan
