Awesome. I've applied the current branch to the trunk, although
I'm not promising there won't be changes to the new stuff between
now and the next release.

In particular, doing the labels (and their placement) for the whole
of a chromosome (and not just for a segment) would allow us to
squeeze in more labels (e.g. in example I showed using the
vertical space currently reserved for the telomeres).
