[commit-cp] [bug #13002] java.awt.BasicStroke.createStrokedShape is a silent stub

[Sven de Marothy]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #13002 (project classpath):

Robert: This is correct. BasicStroke is necessary to be able to set the
stroke type. 

However, in our implementation createStrokedShape() isn't necessary because
Cairo already supports the same stroke types that BasicStroke does. (both
are, in turn a rip-off of PostScript stroking ;-)) 

What we need to do to implement this is to either port the cairo stroking
code to java (createStrokedShape should be consistent with Cairo is stroking,
so what we return matches what's drawn), or call the cairo stroker and convert
the cairo path to a Shape object and return that. In any case, the Cairo
stroker had some bugs the last time I looked, so this isn't at the top of my
TODO list.
