Thank you Markus and Wolf. I did not think to search in grass-source/vector directory. It also makes sense now why it's not compiled by default. I am fighting to get something on the screen. I have the impression that it works but I can't find the proper size (in metres)? Would this be considered as an extra feature? Estimating a default size? Excuse my ignorance if this is something extremely difficult or impossible.
