I too would have liked to clean it up in a few weeks. But I had to answer now
the question of Christophe.

Instead of answering that there is nothing good enough, (the easiest answer)
or sending him the source, I prefered answer on the list, and
provide the state of the awful package for two raisons :

1 - it could generate ideas on what the command names should be,
      and what these commands should do,

2 - as it is, it could be useful as examples of latex macro (for beginner),

I think the first raison is the most important : what do you dream to have 
for drawing uml diagramms?
- define command names ?
- define arguments of these commands,
- list key options (function and name).

Moreever, I think such a package is far more general than UML,
it could be usefull for any electric  schematic, organigramms
and other diagramms.
