Comment (by mlennert):

 After some discussion with MarkusM, I see three options, all based on the
 source code published at [http://ivrl.epfl.ch/research/superpixels], which
 is GPL3:

  * Integrate the code as is into GRASS. Disadvantage: it's C++ and we
 would have to maintain it. Advantage: code exists, so less work, we would
 "only" have to write the GRASS io wrapper
  * Translate the original code to C and integrate into GRASS.
 Disadvantage: more work, we have to maintain; Advantage: no C++, no
 installation by user, native implementation in GRASS
  * Write a GRASS module that calls the compiled command line tool.
 Disadvantage: the user would have to install and compile the code.
 Advantage: less work for us, others maintain
