Easy thematic maping is of course one of the goals. I would not call it
priority because it should not be such problem after implementing real
priorities which are I think (related to thematic maping):
1. reliable links to database in vectors (almost done)
2. standard connection to external database. (some experimental code is
    written and I want to open discussion after g5.0 release)

Then thematic maping should be simple modification of few modules and
some gui for display and ps modules.
