Keith misspoke; the strategies document really is referring to wide lines,
and the comments in mifpolycon.c confirm this.  The Bresenham stuff should
be ripped out (maintaining the Strategies document hasn't been high on our
list, nor has cleaning up garbage comments in the code).  The problem is that
the original sample implementation was done under somewhat chaotic conditions,
and the translation of final protocol semantics to source code did not always
quite make it.  This is a case in point.
