So an educated guess on how much space to add would be
the line width times the scaling?

Okay, I thought there was a guarantee that the drawing happened
inside the bounding box.

Something is fishy with hline or my understanding of hline though.
In order to avoid using scale I tried this:

    (pict->bitmap (hline (* 20 30) 20))

and got a one pixel line. See attached image.
