HudMap

79 - 'Freeze' map and have player move on map

Hey, I was curious about how drastic or painful it would be to extend or enhance HudMap so that the map could be frozen, and the player could move freely around the map. This is loosely similar to the shift-M battleground map that Blizzard provides, albeit that map lacks all the features that make HudMap so useful.

I suppose if this is doable, I'd even see value in predefined 'perspectives' for boss fights so that everyone in the raid would have the same layout, and could talk about the room in compatible terms. From there, I could see things like allow raid leaders to define custom shapes and share them to other HudMap users, etc. being interesting extensions as well.

I've written some addons myself, but it's been ages-- as in, it's been since vanilla, just before the launch of BC. This is one of the few addons I've been excited about enough to look into since back then, and I'd be more than happy to invest some time into this addon if I wouldn't get in the way.
