I think for the arms, legs and toes that should be possible. I'm not completely sure if I can do it for the arms without introducing too much distortion at the shoulders or an extra seam there, but I'll try. I couldn't find a good way to attach the feet to the legs anyway, so I'm quite free in how to align them.

The thigh/groin line will be harder. I 'm pretty sure I won't be able to make it horizontal without excessive distortion, but I maybe I could get it close to a straight line. As I am using the free demo version of UVLayout, my tool set is a bit limited. But I'll see what I can do. Anyway, it's just the one line in that case, so maybe you could use some extra math to pick the border you want, even if it's not straight?

Anyway, I've just started that whole UV mapping thing a few days ago, so I'm hardly a pro. If I hadn't come across UVLayout, I'd probably given up. But that program makes it extremely easy to cut and paste pieces and optimize them for minimal distortion. Still, I'm quite happy for people more talented than me to come up with their own mappings eventually. It's just that I don't want to get too many people on board before the official release, because I want that out as soon as sensibly possible now and I'm not particularly good at cat herding.
