Tool for creating plot legends

This will handle the general case of combined plots and let you
substitute in different function lists and colors, as well as move the
legend around and changing the spacings in the legend. Shouldn't be too
hard to adapt it to more general styles for the plotting and legend.
The Legend package won't automatically pick up the styles from the plot
except in the case where there's only one kind of plot. So in this
case, one should enter all the style definitions into a variable to be
shared by the plots and by the Legend.
