i may be giving a very overly simple answer that you already know about
but just in case you dont already know i want to save you the trouble of
hand editing XML
you can draw the shape you want in dia and then simply dia will export as
.shape for you
you should not need to edit the xml at all, or at worst you will only need
to edit it to clean up some very tiny details after you have drawn the
file.
Hope that helps
