Not nearly as much as there should be.  There's some random jottings at
http://www.faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/DiaEditor and a few diagrams
in the samples dir in the distribution.  Better comments would
definitely not hurt, and a lot of the files are simple enough that
commenting should not be tough.  Some amount of the code (75000 lines
out of 240000) is in the objects dir, where there's a lot of copied
code.
