linestyle in patches

Here is a patch to add linestyles to patches.py. I have tried it with unfilled step histograms (important for b/w print and colour blind people).

What do you think?

Cheers,
Olle

patches.py.diff (2.28 KB)

I'm happy to include this, but we need to make sure it is supported in
PS, PDF, SVG and Agg. Can you check these backends to make sure they
are respecting the new parameter?

Thanks,
JDH

Tested, seems to work fine with Agg, Cairo, PS, PDF, SVG, GTK, GTKAgg and GTKCairo
