2 minor things and the ShapeBasedPlacer

You are prefectly right that this contains more commits than just the ShapeBasedPlacer.
I had a little time on my hands and was thrilled that I am now able to code on the wordcram I actually use that I did this verbose thing because ... that's in all my sketches. Of course this can be done much more elegantly with 

WordCram.setDebugLevel(WordCram.VERBOSE)

or something alike. Feel free to ditch whatever you don't deem necessary.
