[OpenLayers-Users] drawing style

[Lehtonen, Mika]

I prefer number two. That way the vector you are drawing would differ 
from the old sketches. The idea of  having users to choose from some 
assortment seems reasonable (and fair). Also users could suggest some 
own option. The worst case is to leave yellow thick line.
