[...] is there an easy way to derive the centre of a cloud of points ? I am aware that the set of vector points (cloud of points) could be used to stake out a polygon/boundary and use v.centroid etc etc to derive in turn its' centroid, but I am hoping for an easier solution .. ?

If this is combined with a previous step to create individual CATs for the exclave areas while preserving the original CAT in another column, we can successfully apply v.to.db even while several areas share the same ID (having the centroids xy-coordinates for all exclave-area) _plus_
