Once you have GRASS GIS source code from Subversion repository [1], you
will find d.legend source code in `display/d.legend` directory [2]. You
should compile GRASS GIS, so you have everything you need for development
[3].

d.legend is using GRASS Display library [4]. It would be best if you find
some display (d.*) module which is already drawing some rectangle, polygon
or area and get inspiration from there.

Please keep communication on the mailing list so other can contribute or
read it too.
