Great!

Yes, sure. It is written like any other GRASS GIS module.

Please let us know where you looked for it and didn't find it - I
would like to improve the documentation.
A good chance to make it better!

This depends on the package/distro. You can use your package manager
(apt-get or aptitude in your case) to see where the files of the
"grass-dev" package are on your machine.
