Dear Inksacpe Team,

here are 3 screen shots of the bool-op LPE and the new slice-inside and
slice-outside bool ops I implemented this weekend:

In the slice-outside image please note that the cut shape is transparent
- it is not just hiding the lines below.

Of cause all normal bool-ops are also supported by the LPE.

Since I want to supply a patch for embroidery use based on 0.91 soon, I
implemented it based on the old livarot mechanisms, but the new bool ops
are just 200 lines with quite a few comments, so I don't see much of an
issue to port it later. The main work was anyway thinking about how to
do it so that it works reliably and not implementing it.

The filltype parameters I will remove and get them from the paths instead.

I think these bool-ops are quite useful for normal drawing (not
embroidery) as well as a more generic kind of hatching.

Best regards,

Michael
