Comment:

 The idea of adding a label to the scalebar has been on the TODO list for a
 long time, thanks.  (same for barscale legends; taken from 'r.support
 units=')

 as for scalebar units factor I wonder if we can do something more
 automatic?
 e.g. see nviz's or the Tcl gis.m profile tool's scale bar magic: it reads
 distance units from g.proj settings, and then switches to miles from feet
 or kilometers from meters when the distances passes a certain threshold.


 thanks for the contribution,

 Hamish
