It occurs to me that if we do add something of this sort,
it might be more usable to assign the linewidth or dashpattern
directly to a series of contour levels rather than indirectly by 
counting out linetypes and tryiing to figure out which level is
going to get which linetype.

Something like we already do with axis tic labels

  set cntrlabel onecolor
  set cntrparam level discrete 0 dashtype '..'
  set cntrparam level add incremental 10, 10 linewidth 2
  set cntrparam level add incremental 2, 10 linewidth 0.5
  set cntrparam level add incremental 4, 10 linewidth 0.5
  set cntrparam level add incremental 6, 10 linewidth 0.5
  set cntrparam level add incremental 8, 10 linewidth 0.5

That would get you a dotted contour at 0, heavy lines every 10,
and thin lines every 2 otherwise.  All the same color in this case.

Thoughts?
