Comment (by steko):

 Mapserver does the same thing (i.e. automatic removal of labels that
 collide until there are no collisions). See
 http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/docs/reference/mapfile/label (POSITION
 directive) and
 http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/browser/trunk/mapserver/maplabel.c#L196

 This doesn't mean the same code can be used, but it shouldn't be difficult
 to re-use at least the same algorithm used there.
