Here's an example of what a scale bar looks like on a map. Something simple like this, enabled with the --scale-bar setting, would be awesome! You could take it even further and allow --scale-bar bottom-right, etc. to position it.

Ok, i think this would be possible, the harder part is calculating meters from coordinates. I'll think of implementing this, for now could you please hit the original lib as well?

You just project the coordinates to UTM, and that gives you distances in meters. Tons of libraries for doing that projection. You can also do a great circle approximation (reasonably-simple trig expression).
