Great stuff! I made a small blog post describing the feature here:

http://linfiniti.com/2011/08/new-hatching-modes-in-qgis-master-line-pattern-fill/

Just a small note: there seems to be a bug where the rotation angles
are not honoured when rendering (even though the symbol preview shows
them correctly) - see attached image. Also, would it be possible to
enable anti-aliasing on those lines?

Regards

Tim
