Comment:

 Applied in r13599.

 I've simplified the calculations of positions as it was starting to be
 hairy. I think the buffer size shouldn't be considered for the labels as
 it complicates things and actually it might be desirable to allow the
 buffers of neighboring labels to coalesce. But we could add a "margin"
 property, which would allow the user to set properly the minimum distance
 from other labels.
