tick label align in xaxis

[GoogleCodeExporter]

To help position the labels in custom ticks i've made a little patch in the 
copy of flot that its used in my project, basically now you can add one new 
option to "xaxis" and "x2axis" to specify the align of the label box: 
('left','right','center'), defaults to center so its backwards compatible.

Feel free to add to flot if you're interested (see attach)

This patch doesn't seem to work anymore with flot 1.7 as the label drawing 
technique seems to have changed significantly.

Are there any plans to introduce the feature of more precisely positioned 
labels in the future?

A specific application I have in mind is the following: I'd like to put just 
two labels on a bottom axis to mark both the maximum and the minimum value. 
With the default centred positioning flot uses, the labels (which are years, 
i.e. four digit numbers) extend beyond the end of the graph. To get a nice and 
compact look, I'd like the left label to be left aligned with the edge of the 
graph and the right label to be right aligned with it.
