	Check out PostScript's solution.  In particular, look up "stroke",
"setlinewidth", "setlinejoin", "setlinecap", and "setmiterlimit" in
"PostScript Language Reference Manual" from Adobe/Addison-Wesley.  The
PostScript method may not be what you're looking for but it's interesting
and worth knowing about.
