[cairo] Wanted features in Cairo.

[Bill Spitzak]

Yes I very much suspect that he wants at least 3 end caps, possibly 4. 
There is the two ends of the lines, and the two ends of each internal 
dash. It is also possible that one of the end caps is used for both ends 
of the internal dash, if this is what Microsoft did I think it would be 
acceptable to copy that.
