no offence was taken, I oroginally thought they (Atlassian) would just freeze everything; they gave us a while and then 
removed everything. I missed it and probably wouldn't know how to copy the issues/bugs anyway.

.........I have used aboout 5 VCS'es and mercurial is by far the most simple. I think git has too many ways to mess up.

Anyhow from your issue 193 I think you just want to allow the graphics strings to have stroke properties (at least in PDF).

I think that's doable with a small change in renderPDF.py; whether it is feasable in renderPS / renderPM I don't know.
