v.centerpoint: category values in ascii output should include original cat values

[mlennert]

When using v.centerpoint to print the centerpoint coordinates to stdout, cat values represent the type of point (7 = mean of area, 8 = median of area, etc). I would find it more useful if in the ascii output the cat value would be that of the original feature (just as normally foreseen for vector output of v.centerpoint) and that the centroid type was an additional column.

Please try r58842. Note that center points for point clouds have only the type of center point as cat and not all categories of all original features.

Thanks, it looks good, but now I get a segfault. I'll attach a full backtrace.

backtrace for segfault

FYI: I don't get that segfault when I send output to a new vector layer (i.e. when I use the output parameter).

I cannot reproduce the segfault, and the original wish has been implemented, so closing.
