    	Improve and simplify line segment rendering on Win32, especially
    	the implementation of GDK_CAP_NOT_LAST, and dashed lines. Fixes
    	bug #306396.
    
    	* gdk/win32/gdkprivate-win32.h (GdkGCWin32): Save the GdkGC's
    	line_style, cap_style and join_style as such in the
    	GdkGCWin32. Don't need to keep the pen_double_dash flag, we can
    	check the line_style.
    
    	* gdk/win32/gdkgc-win32.c (fixup_pen): New internal function. Sets
    	up the GDI pen type, style, end cap and join attributes to use
    	based on the pen width, GDK line style, end cap style, and join
    	style.
    
    	For a narrow (zero-width) GDK pen with the GDK_CAP_NOT_LAST end
    	cap style, which typically are used for XOR drawing where it is
    	essential that the last pixel is not drawn, use a GDI cosmetic
    	pen. Only for a cosmetic pen does GDI not draw the last pixel. I
    	deduced this by experimetation, the documentation is rather vague.
    
    	For other GDK pens use a geometric GDI pen. If the width is 0 or 1
    	and the GDK end cap style is GDK_CAP_BUTT, and the line style is
    	GDK_LINE_SOLID, use PS_ENDCAP_ROUND. This ensures that also
    	single-pixel length lines are drawn. (For sngle-pixel width lines
    	roundness as such is of course irrelevant.) For dashed lines, use
    	PS_ENDCAP_FLAT.
    
    	For wide lines use PS_ENDCAP_FLAT, _ROUND or _SQUARE,
    	respectively, for GDK_CAP_BUTT, GDK_CAP_ROUND and GDK_CAP_PROJECTING.
    
    	For one pixel on-off dashed lines, use PS_ALTERNATE, it seems to
    	work better than PS_USERSTYLE. For other dashed lines, use
    	PS_USERSTYLE and the dashes as set by the user (or the default
    	four-pixel on-off style).
    
    	(gdk_win32_gc_values_to_win32values, gdk_win32_gc_set_dashes):
    	Call fixup_pen() to do the pen settings after modifying some of
    	the GDK GC attributes that affect pens.
    
    	* gdk/win32/gdkdrawable-win32.c (render_line_horizontal,
    	render_line_vertical, draw_segments): Check GdkGCWin32::line_style
    	instead of the the removed pen_double_dash member. Don't use
    	PATCOPY unconditionally in the PatBlt() call, use a raster ope
    	code that depends on the GC function in use.
    
    	(draw_rectangle, draw_segments, draw_lines): Be more careful in
    	deciding when to do the manual dash rendering.
    
    	(draw_segments): Don't do any manual "last point" drawing at
    	all. The above changes takes care of narrow line segments being
    	drawn correctly in most cases, at least on NT-based Windows.
