Adding "rounded | butt" as a terminal option took me all of 10 minutes; I'll add it to cvs after confirming backward compatibility with the older versions of libpdf. I see no particular problem with adding dashes as well, that fits in with the current plan of adding dot/dash support as a general feature.
