<snip> I've used Rob McDonalds example macros and hopefully improved the metapost output. Please take a look at bug 332554 and let me know how I can improve it. Note that I've not used the draw_text_line. Because draw_string needs to know how to align the text, I've implemented draw_text and this calls draw_string. Sorry Lars, I just couldn't see any way around it (well, I didn't think very hard).
