`label` | a character string that will be appended to the names of the resulting files.
`overwrite` | a logical, whether or not to overwrite existing files with identical names.

### Details

This function takes the result from a gene set analysis as returned by the `runGSA` function and writes three files that can be directly used as input to Kiwi. Kiwi is a external function i python that can be used for network-based visualization of the GSA results (http://sysbio.se/kiwi).
