quoth the daemon, as i got back from a bout of christmas shopping:
> Name of contribution: Pinlabel: a TeX labelling package
> Author's name: Colin Rourke
> Package version: v1.2
> Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/
> Summary description: A TeX labelling package
> License type: lppl

> Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> This is version 1.2 of the pinlabel package and replaces the
> existing version. It is 100% backwardly compatible. The new
> feature is that it will now read bounding box information from
> a PDF figure file if you do not supply an eps or ps version.
> Thus you can draw your figures directly as pdf's and label
> them, just as you would an eps figure.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the
catalogue repository.

The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

pinlabel – A TeX labelling package
Pinlabel is a labelling package for attaching perfectly formatted TeX labels to figures and diagrams in both eps and pdf formats. It is suitable both for labelling a new diagram and for relabelling an existing diagram.
The package uses coordinates derived from GhostView (or gv) and labels are placed with automatic and consistent spacing relative to the object labelled.
