beside improving existing  d.* modules or creating new (d.vlegend),
improving cairo driver (support advanced symbology for lines, areas,
etc) I would like to highlight other issues:

1) better integration of d.* modules in wxGUI. Current support for
legends and other decorations in wxGUI map display need to be
fundamentally rewritten and improved.

2) Extend `v.class` and related lib (not documented at all, fns need
some prefix, ...) [1]. Also integrate this module in wxGUI.
