[Feature Request] Allow non-closed paths

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I want to be able to draw free-form lines where the end of the line is not 
connected to the beginning of the line. I found there was a simple fix to 
allow this, a minor change to the PDF.end() method. I added a parameter, 
with a default value that mimics the old behavior, so people upgrading to 
use the new API will not need to change anything, but can use it if they 
want.
