Hmm... Well that would be more complicated... I think d.labels diplays
the labels in the order they are in the label file (Hamish probably
knows), so I'd have to change the order they are in the file or else
maybe d.labels could do that?

I'm now working on José María's wish for v.label.sa to hide colliding
labels based on some weight db column.
